AI Summary

Requires the Department of Homeland Security to keep Congress informed about the accreditation status of every DHS basic training program, starting within 90 days of enactment and then every year. If any program loses accreditation, the Secretary must promptly notify Congress. Directs the DHS Under Secretary for Science and Technology to research and develop systems and technologies that make it easier for State, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement—especially in rural and remote areas—to access Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers courses. The goal is to strengthen national preparedness and joint responses to terrorism and other homeland security threats.
