Several FBI CJIS CAAA board members were present for the K9 Advocates Training Aid Delivery Device kits distribution to canine officers from all over West Virginia this morning. FBI CJIS CAAA donated 4 kits ($2,000). Harrison County Sheriff's Department K9 officer did a demonstration with how effective the kits are for training. Voodoo found the hidden target!

Safe, synthetic K9 training aid kits allow handlers to train on narcotics—including fentanyl, he**in, m**h amd others without exposure risks or DEA licensing.

Nominations are NOW OPEN for the 2026 FBI CJIS Citizens Academy!

The FBI Citizens Academy is a stimulating six- to eight-week program that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI. During the academy, students gain insight into the structure and operation of FBI field offices and resident agencies and learn the services the FBI provides to local and state law enforcement agencies. It is the goal of the FBI Citizens Academy to foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in the community through frank discussion and education.


The next FBI CJIS Division Citizens Academy class will be held Tuesdays, beginning March 3, 2026, and ending April 28, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at FBI CJIS Division (1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, West Virginia, 26306).


Nominations for the 2026 class may be submitted by past and/or present FBI employees, Citizens Academy graduates, or any individual wishing to nominate themselves. Individuals nominated must be in good standing in the community.

Be a recognized business, religious, or community leader
Live and/or work within the division's jurisdiction
Be at least 21 years old
Consent to a limited background investigation, to include fingerprint checks
Agree to attend all sessions, with no more than one excused absence

To nominate a candidate or self-nominate, please complete the below nomination form and provide a narrative stating the reasons for nomination. If you plan to nominate more than one candidate, please provide one form per nominee. Please note: The selection process is competitive, and not all nominees will be selected.

Selections of the final candidates for the 2026 class are to be determined by the division. Candidates will be notified of their status by February 2, 2026.

At the conclusion of the program, graduates are encouraged to join their local FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Chapter for the purpose of strengthening relationships and improving understanding between the FBI and the community.

We’re looking forward to our upcoming Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at Muriale’s Italian Restaurant in Fairmont, WV. Please check your email/ spam box for more details.

If you haven’t already, please remember to RSVP by November 26 for the holiday party so we can finalize our headcount. https://evite.me/fHdaPqejxC

We’re also excited to announce that retired FBI CJIS Assistant Director Tom Bush will be our guest speaker for the evening! Mr. Bush will present around 6:30 pm for about a half hour and will answer questions following his presentation. Please see your enaul invote and attachment for more information.

Tom will share a fascinating presentation on the capture of Eric Rudolph, who was accused of detonating a bomb at an Atlanta abortion clinic in 1997. At the time, Tom served as second in command of the FBI’s Atlanta office and was deeply involved in the investigation.

Rudolph was later arrested in North Carolina after years on the run and was also linked to bombings at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, a 1997 attack outside a gay nightclub in Atlanta, and a 1998 bombing in Birmingham, Alabama.

We’re honored to have Tom, who helped found the FBI CJIS Citizens Academy here in West Virginia!

We hope you’ll join us for a night of good food, connection, and an extraordinary story from someone who helped make history!

Warm regards,
