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.
