FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to Two ICE Programs
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Leadership and Career Development Instructor Development Course (IDC) and to the Supervisory Leadership Training (SLT) at the May 9, 2024, meeting.
The purpose of the IDC is to enable graduates to deliver modules effectively and professionally in the ICE Academy Training program, ensuring strict adherence to safety, legality, and professionalism. Graduates also gain the capability to collaborate with instructional specialists in creating, developing, and implementing comprehensive ICE instruction programs. The IDC is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 16.
The SLT program is designed to empower first-line supervisors by providing them with the essential skills and knowledge required for successful leadership. The program's primary objective is to cultivate a thorough understanding of effective communication, conflict resolution, team management, and decision-making. Participants acquire valuable insights into strategies to create a positive and productive work environment. The SLT is five instructional days and consists of 40 hours of instruction. The average number of students per iteration of the program is 30.
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.
