The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation Board celebrated its 20th anniversary Nov. 3 and was recognized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for its work in training federal law enforcement officers, agents and staff members.
According to a Nov. 4 ICE news release, there are four training organizations involved in the FLETA accreditation. This includes the Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations academies location in Glynco, Ga.; the HSI Intelligence Training Academy in Washington, D.C.; and the Office of Leadership and Career Development in Dallas, Texas and Washington, D.C.
“The FLETA accreditation standards and procedures reflect the excellence, competence and professionalism expected of agencies and training organizations that participate in the process,” FLETA Office of Accreditation Executive Director Joseph M. Collins said in the release. “Through FLETA, training organizations, like the HSI, ERO and OLCD, compare their policies and procedures against the federal standards, as they enhance the quality of training to meet their critical, unique and ever-changing missions.”
Norma Creech-Gomez, acting deputy assistant director for the ERO Training Division, said ERO is proud to be a part of the accreditation process through FLETA, the release reported.
“Having accredited programs shows ERO and ICE’s commitment to providing the highest quality training in the ever-evolving federal law enforcement landscape,” Creech-Gomez said in the release.
