Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (Fleta)

In 2002, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board was established to accredit training academies and programs. The purpose was to develop an independent accreditation process that provides law enforcement agencies an opportunity to voluntarily demonstrate that they meet an established set of professional standards.

The accreditation of a federal law enforcement agency or program assures the people served that the agency or program has successfully complied with standards established by their professional community that demonstrate adherence to quality, effectiveness, and integrity. A high degree of public confidence in the competence and professionalism of federal agents and officers is an important outcome of this process. The NTC's Basic Security Police Officer Training Program (BSPOT) was the first program in the nation to receive FLETA program accreditation.​
