DHS Secretary Visits FLETC, Showcasing Commitment to Law Enforcement Training
GLYNCO, Ga. – This week, FLETC welcomed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to its Glynco, Georgia, training headquarters. The visit offered an invaluable opportunity for FLETC leadership and staff to showcase the comprehensive, mission-critical training programs that prepare federal law enforcement officers to serve and protect the nation.
Secretary Noem’s visit included a meeting with FLETC’s senior leaders and a stop to pay respects and honor the fallen at FLETC’s Law Enforcement Graduates Memorial and its 9/11 Memorial.
The visit continued with demonstrations across key training divisions, beginning with the Cyber Division. There, she observed advanced investigative instruction in digital forensics, surveillance systems, and mobile device analysis—critical tools for modern law enforcement facing increasingly complex cyber threats.
Following the Cyber Division, the Secretary visited the Driver and Marine Division, where instructors demonstrated the rigorous mental and physical training necessary to safely and effectively operate law enforcement vehicles. This portion of the visit highlighted FLETC’s dedication to real-world readiness, ensuring law enforcement personnel can operate confidently in high-risk environments.
The tour concluded at the Firearms Division, where Secretary Noem observed cutting-edge indoor and virtual range training. This division delivers foundational and advanced instruction in firearm safety, application, and tactical response, reinforcing the importance of preparedness and responsible use in field operations.
The visit was a meaningful moment for FLETC’s workforce, who were proud to represent the breadth and depth of their contributions to homeland security. For management, staff, and partners alike, the opportunity to demonstrate how FLETC supports DHS’s mission through excellence in law enforcement training reaffirmed the value of their work.
As FLETC looks to the future, Secretary Noem's visit underscored a shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement in training. With a growing need for adaptable and skilled law enforcement professionals, FLETC remains focused on providing best-in-class instruction and fostering relationships with its 130 federal agency partners that support a safer, more secure nation.
