For Immediate Release

Jaxon Parker Receives FLETA Team Leader Recognition Award

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce Mr. Jaxon Parker as the 2020 recipient of the FLETA Team Leader Recognition Award. FLETA Board Chair, Dr. James Ward, presented the Team Leader Recognition Award to Mr. Parker during the Virtual FLETA Board meeting on April 15, 2021.

On behalf of the FLETA Board, I am pleased to recognize Mr. Parker for this distinguished award,” stated Dr. Ward. “Mr. Parker is highly respected among the FLETA community and demonstrates his professionalism and excellence in everything he does whether serving as a team leader, assessor, or self-assessor.”

Mr. Parker has been involved with the FLETA process in various roles for many years. Mr. Parker currently serves as the Enforcement Programs Manager for the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Mr. Parker has served on numerous assessments and self-assessments, both as an assessor and team leader. In addition, to serving as an assessor and team leader on FLETA assessments, Mr. Parker provides direct and in-direct support to other federal law enforcement agencies as a source of expertise conducting self-assessments.

Mr. Joseph Collins, Executive Director for the FLETA Office of Accreditation, congratulated Mr. Parker on the award. Mr. Collins stated, “Team leaders, like Mr. Parker are the critical link between the FLETA Board and the assessment teams. I have had the honor of working with Mr. Parker and his dedication to the FLETA process sets the standard for all team leaders and assessors. We would not have a FLETA process without the hard work and dedication of Mr. Parker and his fellow team leaders and assessors.” 

The FLETA Team Leader Recognition Award recognizes individuals who have contributed significantly or demonstrated exceptional commitment while serving in a team leader capacity during the FLETA accreditation process. The team leader has successfully demonstrated an effective and innovative approach associated with obtaining the highest quality of federal law enforcement training. The FLETA Team Leader Recognition Award is intended as an individual annual award; however, the Board may consider multiple candidates.

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 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.
