   Commemorating the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center's 50th 
                              Anniversary.

Whereas the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (``FLETC'') was established 
        on July 1, 1970, in response to a need for standard training across 
        Federal law enforcement agencies;
Whereas the FLETC headquarters in Glynco, Georgia, opened in 1975;
Whereas FLETC became a part of the Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 
        2003, pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-296);
Whereas, in 2016, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, FLETC's 
        first authorizing legislation, the Federal Law Enforcement Training 
        Centers Reform and Improvement Act of 2015 (P.L. 114-285);
Whereas FLETC provides basic and advanced law enforcement training for 95 
        Federal law enforcement agencies and to State, local, and Tribal law 
        enforcement agencies nationwide;
Whereas FLETC includes training locations in Glynco, Georgia, Artesia, New 
        Mexico, Charleston, South Carolina, and Cheltenham, Maryland;
Whereas the mission of FLETC is to prepare the Federal law enforcement community 
        to safeguard the people of the United States, our homeland, and our 
        values through strategic partnerships; and
Whereas FLETC trains nearly 70,000 law enforcement personnel annually in 872 
        training programs and maintains more than 3,400 acres of training 
        ground: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Federal Law 
        Enforcement Training Center; and
            (2) recognizes the staff, students, and leadership of the 
        Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for their commitment to 
        preparing law enforcement to protect the people of the United 
        States.
