Uniformed Police Training Program (FLETC)

The purpose of the UPTP is to provide, on an interagency basis, a program of instruction that fulfills all the basic federal law enforcement officers’ training requirements necessary for responsible and competent job performance. Rather than being agency-specific, the program addresses common knowledge, skills and abilities expected of all officers. The UPTP is designed to meet these training needs as identified through systematic program monitoring in the form of validation studies and continuous research, which includes feedback from partner organizations. The UPTP is 64 instructional days and consists of 527 total course hours. A maximum number of 48 participants per session can be trained at Glynco and 24 at Artesia.
