FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the NCIS Basic Physical Security Training Program
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it has granted reaccreditation status to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Basic Physical Security Training Program (BPSTP) at the November 1-3, 2016, meeting in Glynco, GA.
The NCIS Basic Physical Security Training Program (BPSTP) is open to Physical Security Specialists (GS-0080) within the Department of the Navy (DoN) and active duty military personnel assigned to NCIS Security Training Assistance and Assessments Teams (STAAT). The purpose of the program is to train DoN Physical Security Specialists and STAAT personnel to conduct assessments of foreign, airfields, hotels, overseas military installations, and other operational venues and to examine the physical security conditions and coordinate with local officials on measures needed to meet Navy security and force protection requirements.
The BPSTP is delivered at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers in Charleston, SC, and provides comprehensive training on topics such as risk management, security design and engineering, physical security inspections and surveys, port assessments, seaport operations, and bomb threat and terrorist response measures. The training program is 20 training days totaling training that consist lecture, laboratory, and Graded Practical Exercises. The BPSTP is delivered annually to 24 students per iteration via classroom lecture and laboratory blocks on instruction.
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, 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.
