FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the TSA FAMS MTITP
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Transportation Security Administration Training Center, Mission Training Instructor Training Program (MTITP) at the April 15, 2021 meeting.
The purpose of the MTITP is to train mission-ready Federal Air Marshals to instruct field office FAMs in the four critical LE/FAMS operational areas of Ground-based, Pre-flight, In-flight, and Post-flight responses. Upon completion, participants are certified to run a reality-based training environment that includes the use of non-lethal training ammunition. The MTITP is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 12.
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.
