The Police Academy Instructor
- Generally one must be of 19 years or older and has to be a resident of the city of which the person is planning to instruct in.
- A degree from a four-year college with a major in criminology, behavioral science or police administration is preferred.
- It can also be required to gain three to five years of on-the-job experience as a police officer or state trooper before you can be employed as an academy instructor.

Media Coverage Dedicated to the Issue!
There has been alot of media coverage dedicated to the issue requarding the use of training material and instructors for FBI and police training. The radio station, NPR has dedicated a news section to the issue. It was called "How Did Anti-Muslim Bias Seep into FBI Training?". In this article, they spoke of the baised tachings of anti-msulim in the FBI. Also they spoke of the slides of the FBI training presentation that was leaked. The presentation contained baised information regarding Msulims being terrorists, and the Prophet Mohammad being the military leader.

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky challenged the anti-Muslim training and questioned the FBI director about the allegations.
