FBI Training
For you. In Memphis:
On July 29, Nicks graduated from skeet to hitting some of the same firing range targets that FBI agents use. Nicks was among 50 participants in the FBI Citizens’ Academy firearms training held in Memphis at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Range.
The academy is designed to teach business, civic and religious leaders some of the techniques and tools that FBI agents use to solve crimes. One of the goals of the program is to give residents a better understanding of how the FBI works.Over five weeks, participants attend meetings held at their local FBI office and learn about everything from the way the FBI sets up jurisdictions to the procedures involved in collecting and preserving evidence.
“I’ve always been interested in learning about the FBI and what they do,” Nicks said.
One of the most anticipated sessions of the academy is the firearms training, said My Harrison, special agent in charge of the Memphis Field Office of the FBI.

Looks pretty cool.
My sister has participated in a couple of similar courses there that were sponsored by local law enforcement.
She may have even gotten in a high speed pursuit or 2, or, at a minimum, a speedy trip to some crime scene.
She didn’t get to see any cops doing a Rodney on a suspect or anything else that cool.
Memphis certainly needs more armed citizens, because its crime rate is incredible.
My wife told me a few minutes ago about a friend of ours, unarmed of course, whose shed or garage was broken into the last 2 nights in a row.
I am thinking about taking one of my AKs back there for a supplemental carry weapon.
I like the 55 round mags better than the 15 in my Glock 22.
