Building Safer Communities through Citizen Leadership

Our chapter works hand in hand with local FBI Field Office to develop and deliver outreach programming tailored to our community.  Chapter meetings bring members together on a regular basis to hear presentations on topics of importance to regional safety and security. Alumni volunteer time, expertise, and material support for community service initiatives.

As volunteer ambassadors for the FBI, the FBIKCCAAA educates communities about federal law enforcement issues, priorities, and goals; and serves to foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in alignment with the mission and resources of the FBI. Our Chapters and members do this by:

• Providing public education programs to raise awareness of community safety issues such as cyber crime, violent extremism, drugs, terrorism, gang activity, public corruption and other criminal activities.
• Equipping citizens with information, tools and resources to address public safety issues such as opioid addiction, hate crimes, online scams, human trafficking, and active shooter situations.
• Hosting events and discussions that facilitate collaborative relationships among federal, state, and local law enforcement, and promote positive community and law enforcement relationships.
• Sponsoring community service initiatives to help at risk populations through food drives, clothing donations, childhood reading programs, senior meals, and school supplies.
• Supporting FBI sponsored outreach and information programs to community citizens, businesses, religious organizations, and government agencies.
