Law Enforcement Training

What this funds

This increase is necessary to allow FLETC to more effectively operate, maintain, and repair the facility infrastructure in accordance with the FLETC and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Strategic Plans and industry standards. From FY 1995 through FY 2023, FLETC's building square footage requiring maintenance more than doubled; however, the maintenance mechanics staff that supports these facilities has not increased in size. Additional facility maintenance staff are needed to address the increased student throughput and physical footprint. Conducting preventative maintenance decelerates the deterioration of facilities and/or infrastructure systems, leading to lower long-term costs from emergency services, unexpected failures, equipment replacements, while also decreasing the risks of interruptions to the training schedule. Program Change 2 - SLTT and Campus Training: Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Operations and Support This increase is necessary to continue the delivery of expanded State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) and campus law enforcement training, including training related to human trafficking. In FY 2024, Congress enacted $1.0M for this purpose; but due to the timing of the FY 2025 Full-Year CR, the funds were not recurred in FY 2025 Spend Plan. The funding will enable FLETC to expand and enhance training opportunities for SLTT and campus law enforcement officers, including specialized instruction related to human trafficking. Building on the initial $1.0M provided in FY 2024, this funding directly supports FLETC's mission by increasing access to subsidized training seats and allowing more SLTT and campus officers to participate in high-quality programs. The additional resources will allow FLETC to develop and deliver courses tailored to the evolving needs of SLTT and campus agencies, promote practical application of skills, and ensure officers are prepared to address emerging threats.
