The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it has granted reaccreditation status to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Uniformed Division Training Course (UDTC) at the April 12-14, 2016, meeting in Glynco, GA.
Uniformed Division recruits attend the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers’ (FLETC) Uniform Police Training Program (UPTP). After successful completion of UPTP, recruits attend the Uniformed Division Training Course (UDTC) at the James J. Rowley Training Center for U.S. Secret Service specific training. This training focuses on protection of facilities and venues, access control to protected facilities, emergency medicine, legal, control tactics, and basic policing skills.
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.
