Readout of Director Walters’ Visits to the Hill

For Immediate Release

Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers Director Thomas Walters met with Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI), Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security member Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), and Judiciary Committee member Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) last week. Director Walters had a chance to introduce himself and discuss some of FLETC’s priorities over the next few years, including:

  • Meeting the evolving and diverse training needs of the federal law enforcement community (95+ participating organizations)
  • Continuing to be a training resource for state, local, tribal and campus law enforcement nationwide
  • Developing and rolling out  the Human Trafficking Awareness Training Program for law enforcement at all levels

All three Senators were happy to learn about FLETC’s important mission. Chairman Johnson spoke with the Director about his continued interest in drones and ways that FLETC might engage with state, local and tribal law enforcement to provide training in this topic. Sen. Blackburn reiterated her commitment to raising awareness of human trafficking, and complimented FLETC for our work in this area.
