                   TRAINING CENTER'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  Mrs. LOEFFLER (for herself and Mr. Perdue) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 668

       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.
