Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation

The accreditation of a Federal Law Enforcement academy or program provides assurance to the citizens they serve, that they have voluntarily submitted to a process of self-regulation. Accreditation also ensures that academies have achieved compliance with a set of standards established by  peers within their professional community that demonstrate their adherence to quality, effectiveness and integrity.
