• This is accomplished by reaching out into the community on a grass roots level.
More information on Family Safety Squad:
The Family Safety Squad is comprised of volunteers all of whom have participated in and graduated the FBI Citizens Academy, an eight-week training course which presents different facets of the FBI. The Family Safety Squad works closely with both the LA Division of the FBI and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for the content of its presentations. The content is always being refreshed to address the ever changing problems parents face.
The Family Safety Squad members go out in to their communities and beyond to teach various parent groups on how to better protect their children.
The Family Safety Squad has over 50 members and 5 certified presenters.
Over 40 presentations and 6 static displays have been executed since the squad’s inception in late 2004.
The Family Safety Squad has presented to parents at schools, temples, churches, mosques, police stations, karate schools, Islamic centers, movie studios, shopping malls, FBI outreach events and more.
