DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act of 2025

# DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would establish new standards and oversight for basic training programs run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Specifically, it aims to improve how DHS accredits and monitors training for its personnel—including federal law enforcement officers and homeland security employees. The bill would likely require better coordination between federal training programs and state/local agencies, and could establish minimum requirements that all DHS training programs must meet. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects DHS employees and new recruits entering federal law enforcement and homeland security roles.

It would also impact state and local law enforcement agencies that work with DHS or may be involved in joint training initiatives. Additionally, it could affect research institutions and training providers that work with the department. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Nellie Pou (D-NJ) but remains in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been voted on by the full House. No further action has been taken as of now.
