The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the U.S. Army Military Police School’s Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent Course and Military Police One Station Unit Training at the November 18-21, 2014 meeting in Glynco, GA.
The Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent Course (CIDSAC) prepares newly selected and qualified soldiers and civilians as Special Agents for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC). The CIDSAC was first created in 1965 and is the Army’s felony level law enforcement and investigative training course. The 567-hour program is geared toward federal and military law, advanced investigative theory and practice, four weeks of interview and interrogation techniques, special police operations, and other programs unique to USACIDC. Graduates of this course are assigned to military installations throughout the world as Apprentice Agents, capable of conducting felony-level criminal investigations, evidence collection, and investigation-specific interviews and interrogations.
The Military Police One Station Unit Training (OSUT) prepares future Military Police professionals to establish and sustain the core competencies of the Military Police Corps Regiment. The mission is to provide the operational force with trained and combat ready Military Police soldiers inculcated with the Army Values and Ethics, Warrior Ethos, and basic soldier skills required to conduct policing and investigations. The OSUT provides first class, consistent training that allows Military Police soldiers to depart Fort Leonard Wood confident in their abilities to conduct Military Police tasks and ready to immediately contribute to their team.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, agencies submit to an independent review of their academy and/or program to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of: Program Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery, with an additional 20 standards for Academies. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, agencies must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the academy/program.
