FLETA OA Conducts Team Leader Program
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA) Office of Accreditation (OA) conducted a virtual Team Leader Program (TLP) from August 13-14, 2025. Six students from various government agencies attended the program, all of whom were nominated to attend based on their strong leadership skills and experience as qualified FLETA assessors. FLETA Team Leaders serve as the assessment on-site supervisor.
Acting Executive Director Jennifer Kasper and Program Managers Cherri Allen, Lisa Bak, and J.J. Hensley helped deliver the program. In addition, Program Analyst James Mays addressed assessment scheduling and Staff Assistant Crystal Johnson provided pertinent information regarding travel to help prepare students for their first TL assignment.
Team Leaders for FLETA must:
-
Complete all aspects of the program
-
Serve as a team leader, under the guidance of a team leader mentor, and complete the qualification and evaluation requirements
Throughout the TLP, students learn the various aspects of pre-assessment activities, how to lead a team through and close out the FLETA assessment, expectations during the Board Review Committee process, managing conflict, and are exposed to a DISC personality assessment.
