The FBI has paused its plans to move its National Academy training program for local, federal and international law enforcement from Quantico, Va. to Huntsville.
FBI National Academy Associates, a nonprofit international organization of over 14,000 senior law enforcement professionals, cited "infrastructure limitations" as its reasoning for not moving forward with the pilot program.
"We're pleased to share that the FBI has decided not to move forward with a National Academy pilot in Huntsville, citing infrastructure limitations," the FBI National Academy wrote on X.
A spokesman for the FBI told WHNT that the bureau remained committed to utilizing the "incredible campus" at Redstone Arsenal and moving the National Academy training there.
"The FBI remains committed to maximizing its investments in Huntsville, taking advantage of the incredible campus at the Richard Shelby Center for Innovation and Advanced Training," the FBI spokesman told the outlet. "The FBI is establishing its long-term plan to move additional advanced training capabilities to Redstone Arsenal, to include the National Academy. The timing for the National Academy transition will be based on the opening of new facilities to meet the National Academy's unique requirements. The FBI will continue to work with our partners and stakeholders throughout these planning efforts."
