Students get a unique, firsthand experience working alongside FBI agents and Bureau leaders, exploring various facets of federal law enforcement that are not typically accessible in a classroom setting.
The FBI Philadelphia Teen Academy offers high school students an immersive experience into the world of federal law enforcement. Participants gain an inside look at various aspects of the FBI's mission, including national security, cyber and violent crimes, and the operations of critical response groups like SWAT and the Evidence Response Team. Through classroom sessions, demonstrations, and practical exercises, students learn about evidence collection, firearms safety, cybersecurity, white-collar crime, and civil rights investigations. The program emphasizes real-world learning, with students hearing from agents about actual cases and developing practical skills for online safety and crime prevention. Activities range from small-group exercises to potential field trips, fostering both knowledge and confidence. The academy aims to develop leadership skills and expose students to diverse career paths within the FBI and broader law enforcement.
A typical day involves classroom sessions, demonstrations by FBI personnel and other law enforcement agents, and practical exercises covering topics like evidence collection, cybersecurity, and firearms safety.
This program is ideal for high school students entering 9th-12th grade who are interested in law enforcement, public service, or criminal justice, and are motivated by the FBI's mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution.
