We would like to congratulate the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for their new Analyst Academy in Tallahassee, Florida, which opened its doors June 2, 2003.
Part of the training curriculum includes the computer based training, “So
What’s Next? Analysis and Critical Thinking”, developed by the National
HIDTA Assistance Center (NHAC). Ms. Lois Higgins, Training Coordinator for the
Academy, reviewed the CD several months ago and decided to include it in the
basic FDLE curriculum. The FDLE Academy class is open to students from across
the State of Florida from state and local agencies. Students convene at the Academy
and using a laptop computer and headphones, each student navigates through the
program solving problems, answering questions and playing games, spending approximately
four hours. The final exam exercises are submitted to the NHAC for review and
scoring, and in return each student is issued a certificate of achievement.
The NHAC Multimedia and Training Units collaborated on the content and programming
of the CD. Approximately 1,500 students have enrolled in this distance learning
component of the NHAC which consists of an additional CD related to introductory
analytical techniques.
For more information or to enroll in these distance learning programs, submit
an enrollment form to the NHAC via fax to 305-715-7615 or call Gladys Sosa
at 305-715-7600 ext 7757.
