U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy Charleston Training Programs
The Maritime Law Enforcement Academy was established in 2004 at the
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Charleston, South Carolina to
provide Coast Guard personnel the necessary skills to conduct their
jobs as federal law enforcement officers. As a key member of the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast
Guard has been designated as the lead federal agency for maritime law
enforcement. The Coast Guard is on the front lines of the nation’s
layered homeland security strategy and is instrumental in securing our
nations maritime domain. The Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE) Academy will
ensure our law enforcement officers continue to receive the best
training and allow us to train maritime law enforcement officers at all
levels of federal, state and local law enforcement. For more information please visit:
