FLETC Training Programs for DCIS Special Agents

Newly hired DCIS special agents attend the following training programs at Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), unless they have already attended them.

Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP)

All DCIS special agents are required to attend the CITP at the FLETC. The CITP provides in-depth training on basic law enforcement concepts and techniques, which consolidates the basic training requirements of more than 76 Federal law enforcement agencies. Perspective agent trainees are provided the specific information and skills necessary to equip them for actual job performance in law enforcement and investigations. Among the subject areas presented are intensive firearms and defensive tactics training, high speed driving techniques, interviewing and interrogation skills, Federal Rules of Criminal Proceedings and investigative techniques. The CITP curriculum is frequently revised to stay abreast of the changing needs of Federal law enforcement agencies.

DCIS Special Agent Basic Training Program (DCIS SAB)

This program was developed by the DCIS to introduce its special agents to the DoD structure and organization and to train them in conducting complex DCIS criminal investigations in support of DoD OIG. This program was designed to introduce criminal investigators to the basic skills needed in conducting a variety of investigations including: Product Substitution, Cyber Crimes/Computer Intrusion, the illegal transfer of DoD technology, and theft, fraud, bribery and healthcare corruption. This program is presented by Senior DCIS Special Agents at FLETC.
