House Passes Carter Legislation to Reauthorize the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

Statement

The United States House of Representatives today passed Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter's (Ga-01) Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Reform and Improvement Act. The legislation would reauthorize the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) located in Brunswick, Georgia and codify essential directives into law.

"FLETC is the preeminent facility for law enforcement training in the United States," Carter said. "While FLETC has provided topnotch training since its creation in the 1970's, Congress has failed to provide FLETC with a reauthorization. There are several authorities within the Office of the Director that were instituted over the last forty years after the original authorization that need to be codified into law so FLETC can continue to provide the highest quality and most cost effective training possible."
