10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ACCREDITATION 
                                 BOARD

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK KINGSTON

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, July 9, 2012

  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Federal 
Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board as they celebrate 
their 10th anniversary on June 5, 2012. The FLETA Board of Directors is 
comprised of 21 senior officials from federal law enforcement agencies, 
academia, and professional organizations. Since the FLETA Board's 
inception, fifteen federal law enforcement academies and over 60 
individual law enforcement training programs have voluntarily presented 
themselves to be assessed through the FLETA process and receive 
accreditation.
  The FLETA Office of Accreditation is one of the smallest entities in 
the Federal Government with only seven government employees, yet the 
impact on federal training and operations is extensive. FLETA assists 
law enforcement agencies in virtually every department of the Federal 
Government to improve operations through more effective and efficient 
training. The mission of FLETA is more important now than ever before. 
This agency's efforts are demonstrative of good government in action, 
accountability through self-regulation, and exhibit the transparency 
that Americans expect of their government.
  I would like to congratulate FLETA on their 10th anniversary and wish 
them much success in the future as they continue to assist federal law 
enforcement operations through training.
