FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the TVA PAISTP
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Police Annual In-Service Training Program (PAISTP) at the May 11, 2023, meeting.
The purpose of the TPAISTP is to provide high quality training to agency personnel based on needs and or identified gaps in performance and or knowledge. This training includes but is not limited to law enforcement topical areas such as firearms, vehicle operations, marine operations, control tactics, and active threat. The TPAISTP is generally 5 instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction in whole, but individual blocks of instruction are typically split up throughout the year in most instances. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 10.
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.
