The Community Outreach Program plays an important role in the FBI’s broader efforts to improve our understanding of the communities we serve and the threats they face. Indianapolis, like each of the FBI’s local field offices, has a community outreach program that complements and strengthens our many efforts to protect you, your businesses, and your families in concrete ways through a range of activities and initiatives. Our goal is to enhance and maintain public trust and confidence in the FBI by sharing information widely and externally about our mission, accomplishments, operations, and values.We also manage relationships with national minority, ethnic, and community-based groups and organizations, the general public, and the private sector to create better relations between the FBI and the public. The Indianapolis Division enhances community relations through our Citizens’ Academy; coordinates meetings, special events, and public appearances; and promotes esprit de corps for employees and the community through special programs.
