DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act of 2025
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to annually report to Congress on the accreditation status of all its basic training programs for entry-level law enforcement roles. The reports must include details like accreditation dates, reasons for lack of accreditation, assigned accreditation managers, and timelines to achieve it - ending once all programs are accredited. It also mandates immediate notification to Congress if a program loses accreditation, including reasons and plans to regain it. Additionally, the bill directs DHS to research better ways to provide training access to state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement, especially in rural areas.
