U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy

The MLEA was established in November 2004, to prepare Coast Guard personnel to perform as Maritime Law Enforcement Officers. In addition, the MLEA enhances the Maritime Law Enforcement skills of students from other federal, state, and local agencies, as well as the international community. The MLEA accomplishes this through the delivery of high-quality training that provides the knowledge and skills necessary for graduates to perform in a safe, legal, and professional manner. They also develop, maintain, and make readily available up-to-date training materials that supports the standardization and professionalism of the Coast Guard’s entire Maritime Law Enforcement Training system.
