Law Enforcement Training

Trends in Law Enforcement Training

Law enforcement training is very important. These professionals face the hazards of dealing with criminals on a daily basis, both directly and indirectly. That is why it is so crucial for their law enforcement training to be monitored closely.

Federal law enforcement training professionals established standards and procedures to evaluate the training programs and training academies used to train Federal law enforcement agents and officers. The intent of this plan was to develop an independent accreditation process that provides law enforcement agencies with an opportunity to voluntarily demonstrate that they meet an established set of professional standards, and receive appropriate recognition for this.

This independent accreditation process has been developed and has been named Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA). The accreditation process provides assurance to the citizens they serve, that they voluntarily submitted to a process of self-regulation, and have successfully achieved compliance with a set of standards that have been collectively established by their peers with their professional community that demonstrate their adherence to quality, effectiveness, and integrity.

In order to accomplish this goal in law enforcement training, trainers in the same discipline, working through a professional accrediting body, assist each other in evaluating and improving their professionalism. A high degree of public confidence in the professionalism and competence of Federal agents and officers is an important outcome of this entire procedure in law enforcement training.

The focus of the effort is to accredit Federal entry-level and advanced/specialized training programs, instructor law enforcement training, and other programs that affect many different Federal, State, and Local enforcement officers.
