MILITARY POLICE . 19-14-2 23 By Major Ryan C. Cagle T he inaugural year for the Training With Industry (TWI) Program internship with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) began in September 2013. The internship, which consists of a U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS) partnership with FLETC, involves rotations through 10 FLETC divisions within the Glynco Training Directorate and the Regional and International Training Directorate, both located in Glynco, Georgia. It also includes the observation of coordination in the State, Local, and Tribal Division of the Regional and International Training Directorate; a partnership with an administrator from the FLETC administrative headquarters; participation in the curriculum review/development process; a partnership with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation organization; and the completion of the Law Enforcement Instructor Training Program. As the consolidated law enforcement training provider for the federal government, FLETC consists of a cadre of professional instructors who provide standardized, cost-effective training for more than 90 partner federal law enforcement agencies and local, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies. With more than 41 years of history, FLETC has been a pioneer in law enforcement professionalization, delivering training to more than 60,000 students a year and more than a million students since its inception. Today, FLETC encompasses not only the 1,600- acre facility at Glynco, but also three training delivery points and four international training venues—where the pursuit of delivering professional law enforcement training worldwide continues. The Glynco Training Directorate consists of nine divisions. Investigative Operations Division The Forensics and Special Investigative Skills Branch, Financial Fraud Institute, and General Investigative Skills Branch comprise the Investiga- tive Operations Division. The focus of the division is on investigative skills in the areas of forensics and economic, fnancial, and cyberspace crimes. The division is also responsible for continuous case investigation—a critical component of the Criminal Investigator Training Program. Students are assigned to a federal task force, where they learn how to conduct an investigation using the law enforcement skills they have acquired through the course of study. The construction of a new, state-of-the-art, multimillion-dollar forensics complex was completed in May 2013. The complex contains apartment and offce areas and a garage (complete with vehicles) that can be set up as crime scenes, forensics classrooms, forensics laboratories, photography classrooms, and photography darkrooms. Physical Techniques Division The Physical Techniques Division consists of the Basic Training Branch, Health and Fitness Branch, Specialized Training and Support Branch, Advanced Training Branch, and Integrated Training Branch. Most of the division instruction is contained in basic FLETC courses (equivalent to Army basic training), such as the Criminal Investigator Training Program, Uniformed Police Training Program, Land Management Police Training Program, and Customs and Border Protection Offcer Basic Training. These courses are taught using offcer response tactics methodologies, which involve the use of physical ftness in conjunction with survival skill sets. The division also provides advanced training for agents who are slated to serve as instructors for their organizations. In addition, the Physical Techniques Division delivers the Law Enforcement Control Tactics Training Program, which includes training in the areas of observers/controllers, collapsible batons, electronic control devices, and unarmed self-defense techniques. The core Physical Techniques Division personnel conduct baton training.
