Agency Specific Firearms Curriculum Development Service
FLETC Cheltenham offers agency specific firearms curriculum
development services to law enforcement agencies. These services provide FLETC
an opportunity to facilitate and administer safe, effective and proven firearms
practices, procedures and techniques used by law enforcement.
FLETC law enforcement professionals consult with agency representatives and
training personnel to assist in the creation and design of specific firearms
related training programs, lesson plans and courses of fire. After the
agency approves the curriculum, FLETC provides viable recommendations and
solutions to appropriately integrate the training into the agency's mandated
training requirements and mission-specific duties.
This beneficial firearms curriculum research and development service affords
agencies a cost-effective approach to stay on the forefront of state-of-the-art
weaponry, law enforcement tactics, and safer procedural techniques.
FLETC’s mission is to provide the highest quality, state-of-the-art law
enforcement training to meet the needs of the law enforcement
community. FLETC staff is proud of its creation and fostering of a
world-class partnership with law enforcement agencies to produce basic and
advanced law enforcement training.
