FLETA Board Grants Accreditation to the USN LES “C” School
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted accreditation status to the United States Navy, Center for Security Forces, Naval Technical Training Center, Lackland AFB, Law Enforcement Specialist “C” School at the May 11, 2023, meeting.
The purpose of the LES “C” School is to provide U. S. Navy Master-at-Arms (MA) the minimum knowledge and skill sets required to support shore-based, and fleet deployed commanding officers in Law Enforcement (LE) duties and responsibilities. Graduates will be journeyman-level Navy Security Force (NSF) personnel expected to implement immediate actions unsupervised to identify, assess, track, deter and mitigate violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and Federal Law on U.S. Navy ships and installations. The LES “C” School is 30 instructional days and consists of 240 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 36, with a minimum convening size of 24 and a maximum of 36.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, training organizations submit to an independent review of their program and/or academy to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, training organizations must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the program/academy.
