The United States’ invigorated focus on fighting terrorism around the globe and in our own backyard created a demand for law enforcement training beyond what the FLETC had ever experienced. Since 2001,The horrific events of 9/11 ushered in tremendous change for the public safety community. When the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established in 2003 to coordinate and unify homeland security efforts, law enforcement was recognized as a vital component in the United States’ comprehensive strategy to confront threats. Since 1970, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) has provided basic and advanced training to federal, state, local, tribal, and international law enforcement officers. With decades of experience meeting the needs of multiple law enforcement communities, FLETC was poised to embrace a broadened mission as part of DHS. The post-9/11 landscape is more complex than ever before, and we knew we had to evolve to provide the very best preparation against a new kind of enemy in a rapidly changing world.
