FBI CITIZENS ACADEMY FOUNDATION OF CLEVELAND

June 15, 2017

The FBI Citizens Academy Foundation of Cleveland (FBICAF - www.fbicaf.org) is a non-

profit public service organization with the goal of creating a safer Northeast Ohio
community and promoting a greater understanding and support of the FBI. This is
accomplished, in part, by improving understanding and encouraging appreciation of law
enforcement among the citizenry and community leaders. One way the FBICAF raises
awareness of those whose activities have a significant impact on the community is to
recognize local heroes that walk among us
