The Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) anticipates and addresses emerging criminal and terrorist threats by providing the law enforcement community the technical training, ability, and expertise to think critically, investigate thoroughly, and lead effectively to disrupt and defeat threats to the security of our nation and its residents. The FLETC State, Local, and Tribal Division (SLTD) provides advanced and specialized training for state, local, and tribal law enforcement professionals who protect our homeland. The SLTD supports law enforcement communities by providing low-cost and no-cost training opportunities conducted on the FLETC campuses in Glynco, Georgia; Artesia, New Mexico; Charleston, South Carolina; and Cheltenham, Maryland. These programs support the development of specialized law enforcement knowledge and skills.
