The Academy was established in 1990. The founders of the Academy are also the founders of the Henley-Putnam University, The Akribis Group, and the Center for Terrorism and Intelligence Studies. Given the facts of the founders’ extensive background and experience in intelligence, counterterrorism, protection, and national security, naturally the Academy catered to members of law enforcement agencies, military personnel, high risk national security operators, and visiting individuals and teams in the Greater Bay Area. Membership was restricted to such individuals for the first two years of it’s operation and later was opened to the general public over the age of 18 and citizens or residents of the United States.
