The purpose of the STAR program is to provide students a refresher on emergency medical care, legal updates, concealed carry tactics, wilderness survival, aircraft water egress, and responding to active shooter situations. The program is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 12 to 16 per class.
The purpose of the STAR Non-6c is to provide a refresher on emergency medical care, wilderness survival, and aircraft water egress. The program is three instructional days and consists of 24 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is eight per class.
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.
