FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the DOI ITP
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Department of the Interior (DOI), Investigator Training Program (ITP), at the November 18, 2021 meeting.
The purpose of the DOI ITP is to meet the training needs of experienced uniformed law enforcement officers as they transition to new positions with the investigative responsibilities. This training program provides critical investigative skills, but also emphasizes tools to assess criminal activity in order to solve larger, long term problems. The ITP assurance is that new practitioners are fully equipped to meet the rigorous demands of the environment in which they will operate. The DOI ITP consists of 30 training days with a total of 241:45 training hours. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 24.
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 Academy/Program Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. 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.
