About GCLETE
Welcome to the Global Consortium of Law Enforcement Training Executives
The Global Consortium of Law Enforcement Training Executives was established to meet the challenges of preparing, maintaining and delivering high-quality law enforcement officers and professional staff that the public expects and deserves. Training executives, who occupy senior positions in police departments and academies, play a critical role in developing the future of law enforcement. To better achieve the collective benefit to members and the broader communities our members serve, we established this organization to be the unified voice of law enforcement educational executives and professionals.
GCLETE will advocate and represent membership interests with government agencies, academic and research institutions, and other associations engaged in law enforcement advocacy, education, oversight and regulation. GCLETE establishes channels of exchange among its members and their organizations. GCLETE empowers Law Enforcement Training Executives to prepare their personnel to meet the manifold and dynamic challenges in society.
GCLETE recognizes there are no perfect methods of instruction and that each individual and organization possesses unique instructional strengths and challenges. We help members improve instruction from cadet to command to professional staff. We seek to improve law enforcement training from “hire to retirement”. We encourage relationships with higher education institutions, trusted training organizations, and support law enforcement participation in research and evaluation to find and use evidence-based practices and training. GCLETE serves its members, their agencies and communities, and law enforcement entities throughout the world.
