The CI Centre, a veteran owned, Virginia-based corporation, was founded in 1997 by David G. Major. Mr. Major is a retired, senior FBI Supervisory Special Agent who spent his career (1970-1994) working, supervising, and managing counterintelligence and counterterrorism cases. Since 1976, he has become a nationally recognized counterintelligence educator and speaker to government and corporate audiences. During the Reagan administration, Mr. Major was appointed the first Director of Counterintelligence Programs to the National Security Council staff. Mr. Major briefed and advised President Reagan, Intelligence Community leaders, and cabinet secretaries on counterintelligence policy and operational matters.

At the CI Centre, students learn directly from seasoned veterans who were successful in the counterintelligence, counterterrorism, security and intelligence professions. Our experienced instructors served in the FBI, CIA, Defense Department, Military Intelligence, State Department, Department of Justice, Canadian RCMP, Cuban DI, and Soviet KGB. Many are also accomplished intelligence historians and authors. We have a proven track record of presenting dynamic, in-depth and powerful "culture-changing" courses that create a real buy-in and support of CI, CT and security disciplines.
