Federal Criminal Investigators Association

FCIA's History

Since 1953, the Federal Criminal Investigators Association (FCIA) and its predecessor organizations have served the needs and addressed the concerns of the federal investigative community.

As we approach the new millennium, FCIA will continue its long tradition as a professional fraternal organization dedicated to the advancement of federal law enforcement officers and the citizens they serve.

Today, more than ever, America demands the best from Federal Law Enforcement Professionals who must constantly adjust to changing technologies, new enforcement strategies and a criminal element that is increasingly sophisticated and violent.

Thus, the mission of FCIA is to ensure that Federal Law Enforcement Professionals have the tools and the support network to meet the challenges of future criminal investigations while becoming more community oriented.

FCIA intends to pursue its mission through:

bulletPromoting professionalism and professional development.
bulletEnhancing the image of federal law enforcement officers.
bulletFostering cooperation among all law enforcement professionals.
bulletProviding a fraternal environment for the advancement of the membership and the community.
