History
The FBI National Academy was created following a 1930 study by the Wickersham Commission that recommended the centralization and standardization of law enforcement training throughout the United States. Initially it was created as the "FBI Police Training School" by the authority of Congress and the Department of Justice. Courses promoted scientific aids in crime detection, effective use of police information, innovations in criminal investigation, and police administration. During World War II, courses were added concerning espionage and sabotage.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
