FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the NCIS BATP
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Basic Assessor Training Program (BATP) at the November 18, 2021 meeting.
The purpose of the BATP is to train Department of the Navy (DoN) Physical Security Specialists and Security Training Assistance and Assessment Teams (STAAT) personnel to conduct assessments of foreign airfields, hotels, overseas military installations, and other operational venues; to examine the physical security conditions; and to coordinate with local officials on measures needed to meet Navy security and force protection requirements. The BATP is 14 ½ instructional days and consists of 110 hours of instruction. 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.
