Terranovan Intelligence Academy

The **Terranovan Intelligence Academy** is the Terranovan Domestic Intelligence Bureau's law enforcement training facility located in the unincorporated community of Aelkarta in Hosfield County, Cosmpolis. The DIB runs the academy, which provides comprehensive cybersecurity and counterintelligence training. It first opened for usage on September 17, 1980, on 431 acres (175 hectares) of land that is only offered for public tours at specific times throughout the year. The academy was opened for the purpose of training the new agents after DIB Agents were found to be lacking in the necessary skills to combat emerging cyber threats and gather crucial intelligence. The Justice Department allowed the freshly equipped agents to practice their marksmanship and tactical skills at its fire ranges and to train in scenarios that closely resembled real-life scenarios at Aelkarta, Cosmpolis.

In 1979, the DIB began development of the Terranovan Intelligence Academy to strengthen the training skills of its agents. When it first opened in 1980, it contained over 40 classrooms, seven conference rooms, three dormitory buildings, two gyms, a large auditorium, a pool, a library, a firing range, a café, and other amenities. The Terranovan Intelligence Academy quickly rose to prominence as a training ground for operatives from across Aelkarta and beyond. Its cutting-edge facilities and vast curriculum provided agents with opportunities to perfect their skills in areas like cryptography, surveillance, and counterintelligence.  The facility housed everything the DIB needed to train a large number of new agents and prepare them for the constantly changing demands of the intelligence profession. The auditorium as well as the pool provided lectures and presentations, while the library and firing range enhanced physical fitness and water-based operations. The cafeteria ensured well-being during rigorous training. The firing range and cafeteria provided controlled environments for agents to practice marksmanship and stay updated on intelligence techniques.

In addition to training new DIB agents at the facility, the Training Center also instructs special agents, intelligence analysts, law enforcement officers, Drug Enforcement Administration agents, and foreign partners. The academy provides several training programs, including Firearms, Vidalez Valley (a training complex simulating a small town), Tactical and Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (a facility for training in driving and maneuvering vehicles in high-stress situations), Cyber Training Center (for teaching agents about cybersecurity and digital intelligence gathering techniques), Survival Skills Training (which focuses on teaching agents essential survival skills in various environments), Intelligence Analysis (which equips analysts with the necessary tools and techniques to effectively analyze and interpret complex data), and Law Enforcement Executive Development (which provides advanced leadership and management training for law enforcement executives) are some of the additional training programs offered at the facility. These programs aim to enhance the skills and knowledge of agents, enabling them to excel in their respective fields and contribute effectively to national security efforts. To meet the needs of these training programs, the DIB has a 2.8 mile long oval road track with a precision obstacle for conducting high-speed vehicle training. Vidalez Valley is a town that the DIB built in order to give realistic training to agents in urban and rural environments. The town is designed to simulate various scenarios, such as crowded streets, residential areas, and commercial districts, providing agents with practical experience in navigating and responding to different situations they may encounter in their line of work.

In order to be able to attend the academy and become an DIB Agent, a candidate must be aged at least 21, a citizen of the Federal Republic of Terranova, and pass a rigorous background check, physical fitness test, and psychological evaluation. These requirements ensure that only the most qualified individuals are selected to join the academy and contribute to the safety and security of their nation.
