Has anyone heard any reliable information yet about when the interrupted CITP classes will be reconstituted? And what the CITP schedule will be like going forward?

They have already begun to call back some of the classes that were interrupted. There has not been any news on when all of them will be called back.
Only reliable information that I have been told is that there will be no new Classes this FY and they will prioritize those who still need to be called back before they have any new classes in the next FY.

FLETC social media has posted they will be using the military and testing monitors on students and staff as a 90 day pilot program. News release confirmed June 17th for training to resume.Last edited by kb9977; 06-03-2020, 04:04 PM.

The testing is only going to be every so often. They even said in the press release they won't receive results for 24 hours. Instructors and students will still be released to do their thing... if they find out they test positive, it will only halt further spread, but won't prohibit those who that person has already exposed from getting it. Not fool proof.

Just fyi, a lot of notices that are going out are NOT giving students the 14 days notice with COVID-19 questions as stated both by the director during the townhall and in the FLETC SOPs. Some classes have received only a few days notice to return.

Have you been in close contact with individuals suspected of COVID-19 infection?
Have you been in an area of the COVID-19 outbreak?
When was the last time you could have been in contact with either of these situations?

DoD88 I think this is bad/outdated intel. A quick glance on the recent FLETC facebook posts show photos of the screening questions on the signs as people enter. And none of the questions on the signs remotely resemble the ones that were posted. The real questions appear to be much more specific and reasonable.

Those are the questions being asked at check in and by some add ons. The screening questions are what is seen on the FLETC Facebook page.

Well, they should be doing those things because if they do not I know for a fact that the OIG will be hounding them about it

I agree with faustus and 1811HopefulDC. The virus is beyond preventable and its only a matter of time until everyone gets it. The point of the safety measures is to slow down the spread. Regardless, the training at FLETC is essential and needs to continue. I dont agree with the disregard for protective measures against covid, however I believe training should resume like it was. If they take the protective measures they posted and limit everyone to campus, im sire they can get by without a major spread. Worst case scenario, everyone at FLETC can reach herd immunity.
-
To my knowledge most of DoD has been conducting basic training throughout this COVID mess with some adjustments. Granted, the military has alot more authority to restrict the movement of its trainees compared to FLETC. But I think they've proven its possible to get the most essential elements of training accomplished without a complete meltdown.
-
RJflyer first off, this isn't the military. Second off, everyone assumes that everyone at FLETC is young and healthy. There are plenty of students that are not young and have medical waivers not to mention the staff and instructors. Heard immunity doesn't necessarily work and if you get sick at FLETC you are quarantined and sent home. The concept some of you seem to not understand is that FLETC has already put in motion a situation that may lead to many students getting sick and thus sent home. FLETC had a plan approved by DHS and they are already deviating from that plan and they've only been open for 2 weeks while cases nationwide are rising.
-
With FLETC's plan comprising of increased social distancing, has anyone figured out yet how they are handling the Mat Room/Physical Techniques portion? Just was curious.

Since my CITP Class was delayed, I ended up graduating from a larger municipal agency. So far I am really enjoying running call to call and doing your "typical" police officer duties. Now that FLETC is opening back up, I was wondering if any one wanted to share the benefits of Federal 1811 vs local police. Pay is good where I am at and the pension is unheard of good. Conflicted if I should stay where I am at or go special agent. Any pros and cons would be great!

I’ve worked the local level for nearly 10 years now. Is it a good gig? Sure. Being on patrol pushing a black and white can, at times, be a blast. However, after a few years you’ll get tired of it. Then once you put your time in and pay your dues, you can promote to investigations. A little bit better hours and atmosphere, but sometimes having up to 60+ active cases can be frustrating. Working the local level gives you experience and excitement you won’t find anywhere else. I’ve never worked an 1811, but hopefully I get picked up soon. Biggest thing you need to do is ask your self where do I want to be when Im 40. Does being a Sgt over a patrol shift working nights and weekend sound interesting? if so stay put.

I've been keeping up on this thread since the beginning, and there's a couple things I can't quite understand. Maybe someone can shed some light...
First, are students still being restricted to campus? From what I understand, instructors (firearms, DT, driving, academic), role players, cleaning staff, food service staff, contractors, and admin personnel are still commuting to and from the center. Now that FLETC is no longer testing, what's the point of keeping students under quarantine for 6+ months? Are there plans to lift this in the near future?
Second, how are FLETC and the sending agencies compensating students who are restricted to center after normal working hours are complete? Students are all civilian employees...I can't imagine that it's legal to restrict movement without compensation for the hours when students are not permitted to leave... Am I missing something?

There is no point to keeping students restricted to campus. The 14 day "ROM" period is also useless and a waste of time.

I can offer a update that came directly from FLETC.
The two individuals that tested positive for COVID-19 were asymptomatic and were immediately transferred to an isolation dormitory. They're conducting contact tracing to determine if there were any other individuals that were potentially exposed.
FLETC did not drop the testing protocol. The reason why it was suspended is because there was a change to the FDA emergency use authorization for the specific test that FLETC is using. Once that is cleared up, they'll resume the pilot testing program.
They've conducted 1800 plus tests and to only have two test positive so far is pretty good given that it's impossible not to have any cases emerge.

RE: 1811 vs local PD. Well, it's been covered here before, with ample input. All I can offer is if you're happy, then stay put.If it is all beautiful you can’t believe it. Things aren’t that way.
