FLETA Board Grants Reaccreditation to the DHS ITA ELIT
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Training Academy Entry Level Intelligence Training (ELIT) at the May 9, 2024, meeting.
The ELIT program provides employees the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful Homeland Security Intelligence Analyst. Students are trained to common standards to include Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 610 Competency Directories for the Intelligence Community Workforce and the Bureau of Justice Administration’s (BJA) Analyst Professional Development Road Map (2019). During the course, students learn all-source analysis skills and complete graded events for writing, briefing, and analysis. Students learn how to comply with professional standards including analytic tradecraft, sourcing disseminated analytic products, and writing for maximum utility.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, training organizations submit to an independent review of their program and/or academy to ensure compliance with the FLETA Standards and Procedures in the areas of Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, training organizations must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the program/academy.
