Sending all 50,000 of them to that school? Hell no.
Certainly not all, but some fraction of them have a fairly high level of responsibility. I see no reason why, say, the top 10% of them should not be trained to a high level; perhaps the supervisors and senior officers. Either that or you need FBI/DEA in positions where they can be readily called upon, on-site.
