FBI
Academy at Quantico 1999
8:00 comes early
A missing car and Professor
Ralph Allen gives a lecture as we wait--but to no avail.
The Jefferson Dorm at the FBI
Academy
The agents who made the ultimate sacrifice
UVA and the FBI--a winning scientific and educational partnership
Jim Robertson shows off the DNA
sequencing and methods development facility. Note the micro clean room and the mobile DNA
processing facility.
A rape. A match. A conviction.
Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) with fluorescence
detection is a winning combination. You cannot make out the capillary on the white area.
Things may be high tech now, but it is still people
who make them work. Professor Allen speaks on science and scientific and legal issues
confronting law enforcement and scientists.
Some of the technical facilities
PCR by the dozen
Plastic dog cages and Pony Malt Liquor--two major
challenges for drug enforcement and homicide
Only the ones on the board are 10 most wanted--at
least by the FBI.
$4.00 for all you eat. They don't want the
trainees to deprive themselves since they need every calorie--see below! This
cafeteria was where Jodie Foster ate in the opening of The
Silence of the Lamb.
The gift shop at the Commissary is a big hit
Denying ownership of the pink pig beanie
Just passing by in the hall. The equipment for a gun
cleaning class.
We still don't know what the machine guns by the
pool are for! Perhaps, we don't want to know.
Even eating everything in sight, classes lose weight
big time.
You might see a self defense class. Here is a
class on personal protection devices.
Hogan's Alley
The most robbed bank in the United States
The theater? The ones John Dillinger attended before
he was killed.
It certainly looks like Main St. USA. It isn't.
Oh, look a playground! 
Not exactly! 
Hostage response helicopter
Typical shooting range
Our lost students! Breakdown! Bummer! At least they
got to go to the gift shop!
Still denying ownership
The perfect end to a perfect day
