The mission of the FBI Las Vegas Division's Community Outreach Program is to provide a comprehensive effort with local community coalitions to address multiple problems, including crime, drugs, gangs, and violence in support of our investigative mission.

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL/JUNIOR SPECIAL AGENT PROGRAM

The Las Vegas Division's Adopt-A-School/Junior Special Agent Program, called the Law Enforcement Club (LEC), is ongoing at Theron Swainston Middle School. Seventh grade students are selected to participate in the program. FBI employees demonstrate procedures such as evidence identification, collection, and maintenance; fingerprinting; hostage negotiations; computer crime, and polygraph. Through a point system, students have the opportunity to earn FBI badges, notebooks, pens, backpacks, and caps. Swainston students who participated in prior LEC programs have formed an Alumni LEC. LEC students participate with FBI employees in many community activities, including the Dr. Martin Luther King Day, Jr., Parade in January, Instructors' Aides in LEC Sessions, and joining FBI employees at community events and programs.

The FBI is proud to actively participate in community events such as Las Vegas Boys and Girls Clubs activities, the Annual African-American Student Conference, Leadership Las Vegas Youth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., parade, and Expanding Your Horizons for Girls in Science and Math. The Las Vegas Division's Community Outreach Coordinator serves on local boards, councils and community coalitions to include the Clark County School District's School-Community Safety Committee, the Partnership/Focus Program and the Mentoring Coalition, the BEST Coalition, Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (SALT), and the Z Square Committee.

SPEAKER'S BUREAU

The Las Vegas Division Speaker's Bureau was developed to promote a more informed community by educating business, labor, government, minority, political, religious, and other community groups about the mission, function, and jurisdiction of the FBI.

Your group may request a speaker by contacting the program coordinator at 702-584-5448. Due to an ever-increasing demand for speakers and the limited number of agents or support staff available for public appearances, all requests may not be accommodated.
