The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Artesia, New Mexico offers a unique dining experience for its members. Access to this "members-only" establishment is strictly controlled, with a rigorous screening process.
Once granted membership, diners can enjoy a variety of options, such as corn dogs, onion rings, and a salad bar with "fusion" dressings. The "grilled chicken" is a standout, as it is expertly prepared without the use of a grill, with perfect grill marks imprinted on the meat. For those seeking a hearty meal, the menu also features pork chops, chicken breasts, and a selection of sides like french fries and bacon slices. This dining hall is actually very good, with lots of variety and great portions.
While the dining experience may not be the most glamorous, the FLETC staff are praised for their great attitudes and willingness to assist the trainees. Non LE staff were nice and the food was good. Diners are advised to be mindful of the dining hours, as they may coincide with other FLETC activities like "range" or "PT." Additionally, a "pro tip" is to check the forks, as some may be flatter than butter knives.
Despite the unique challenges of the desert environment, the FLETC dining hall provides a reliable and functional dining experience for its members.
