HR-3842 : Became Public Law

Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Reform and Improvement Act of 2015

This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to codify the establishment of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The FLETC must be headed by a director who reports directly to the DHS Secretary.

The bill sets forth functions of the director and training responsibilities of the FLETC. Additionally, it codifies existing contracting, purchasing, and spending authorities of the FLETC.

Individuals who attend FLETC training must reside in FLETC housing, to the extent practicable.
