In 2017, ICE Centralizes Training, Then Decentralizes Training, OIG Says That’s A Mistake

January 25, 2018

Pursuit's Take

In February 2017, ICE consolidated its multiple training programs into a centralized training program. OIG recommended this because it would make training effective and efficient. However, in August 2017, officials proposed that ICE revert to a decentralized training model. “The rationale outlined in the memorandum is that each operational program within ICE should act autonomously to address its specific training needs and closely monitor their respective training budgets.”

OIG thinks this decentralization is counterproductive and “may lose any improvements in capturing expenditures and forecasting costs, projecting training requirements, and evaluating the model’s effectiveness across ICE. Furthermore, decentralization could result in unintended consequences, such as duplicative internal training investments, inconsistent training, degradation of training, and missed opportunities to leverage cost efficiencies across ICE.”
