A retired FBI special agent has published a book in which he describes his inadequate training at a new agent class at the academy in Quantico, Va., the Officer.com reports.

Entitled “FBI: Animal House,” the book alleges that the training was subpar and didn’t rise to the level of education by police departments.

Author Peter M. Klismet, Jr. left the Ventura Police Department to join the FBI and later served as a profiler.

Klismet said the training is much better than it used to be and said some of the instructors were inadequate.

Klismet said trainees spent too much time on photography, first aid and fingerprinting.

  1. Does anyone recognize anyone in the photo? I believe two of the SA’s are now Special Agents in Charge and one a retired AD ? If Mr. Kilsment Jr. thought the Agency was such a joke why did he stay in it so long.. Oh wait !! It was the money he would get from his pension… Ah…
