FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the TIGTA SAATP
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), Special Agent Advanced Training Program (SAATP) at the November 18, 2021 meeting.
The purpose of the SAATP is to provide advanced career progression training to TIGTA special agents in investigative areas that are unique to TIGTA, as well as the latest training in various law enforcement areas. The SAATP is eight instructional days and consists of 64 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.
