The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it has granted initial accreditation status to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Training Center Mission Training Instructor Training Program (MTITP) at the November 3-5, 2015 meeting in Glynco, GA.
The MTITP was first developed in 2005. The purpose of the program is to train mission-ready Federal Air Marshals to instruct field office FAMs in the four critical FAMS operational areas of Ground-Based, Pre-Flight, In-Flight, and Post-Flight responses. Upon completion, participants are certified to run a reality based training environment that includes the use of non-lethal training ammunition.
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: Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, Training Delivery, and Distance Learning. 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.
