Mission Statement

The FBI CCAAA goals include: 

(A) Providing a forum for strengthening the relationship and improving the understanding between the FBI Columbia Division and the community it serves. 

(B) Facilitating the continuing education of FBI Citizens Academy graduates about the FBI, its mission, activities, and people.
