Whereas the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center ( FLETC ) was established on July 1, 1970, in response to a need for standard training across Federal law enforcement agencies; Whereas the FLETC headquarters in Glynco, Georgia, opened in 1975; Whereas FLETC became a part of the Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003, pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–296); Whereas, in 2016, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, FLETC’s first authorizing legislation, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Reform and Improvement Act of 2015 (P.L. 114–285); Whereas FLETC provides basic and advanced law enforcement training for 95 Federal law enforcement agencies and to State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies nationwide; Whereas FLETC includes training locations in Glynco, Georgia, Artesia, New Mexico, Charleston, South Carolina, and Cheltenham, Maryland; Whereas the mission of FLETC is to prepare the Federal law enforcement community to safeguard the people of the United States, our homeland, and our values through strategic partnerships; and Whereas FLETC trains nearly 70,000 law enforcement personnel annually in 872 training programs and maintains more than 3,400 acres of training ground: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate— (1) recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; and (2) recognizes the staff, students, and leadership of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for their commitment to preparing law enforcement to protect the people of the United States.
