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:
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
