Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC,[2] pronounced /ˈflɛtsi/) serves as an interagency law enforcement training body for 105 United States government federal law enforcement agencies.[3] The stated mission of FLETC is to "...train those who protect our homeland". Through the Rural Policing Institute (RPI) and the Office of State and Local Training, it provides tuition-free and low-cost training to state, local, campus and tribal law enforcement agencies.[4]
Parent department[edit]
The FLETC's parent department, the DHS, supervises its administrative and financial activities.[7] As an interagency training organization, FLETC has professionals from diverse backgrounds to serve on its faculty and staff. Approximately one-third of the instructor staff are permanent FLETC employees. The remainder are federal officers and investigators on short-term assignment from their parent organizations. Agencies take part in curriculum review and development conferences and help develop policies and directives.
Partner organizations have input regarding training issues and functional aspects of the Center. The current partner organizations are:[8]
