The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Board is pleased to announce it granted reaccreditation status to the United States Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement Specialist “A” School (USCG ME “A” School) at the April 15, 2021 meeting.
The purpose of the USCG ME “A” School is to train ME “A” students to conduct homeland security and law enforcement operations in support of USCG mission. The program is 47 instructional days and consists of 395 hours of instruction.
The FLETA Board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, agencies submit to an independent review of their academy and/or program to ensure compliance with the FLETA standards and procedures in the areas of Academy/Program Administration, Training Staff, Training Development, and Training Delivery. Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, agencies must submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent review of the academy/program.
