The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS) and the U.S. Army Civilian Police Academy (USACPA) Training Program at the April 27, 2017 meeting in Naval Station Mayport, FL.
The USAMPS is located in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and trains over 20,000 students annually in both basic and advanced law enforcement practices and processes. The USAMPS is committed to ensuring military police leaders, soldiers, and Department of the Army civilians receive top-quality, realistic training in an environment that fosters learning. The USAMPS training programs prepare these soldiers, civilians, and leaders to effectively perform law enforcement and criminal investigations throughout the Department of Defense, within the United States and overseas.
The USACPA is a 9 weeks in length program that conducts dynamic, state of the art law enforcement and security skills training to enable Department of the Army/Department of Defense law enforcement agencies to better perform their law enforcement, antiterrorism, physical security, and force protection missions. The target audience of this program is newly-hired civilian police officers assigned to positions at various locations throughout the U.S. Army and joint bases with other military components. It has expanded to include those duty stations required by the Defense Logistics Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard. The course is designed to teach Basic Law Enforcement 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 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.
