William Ralph Basham Jr. (born November 17, 1943)[1] is an American law enforcement official who served as commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, director of the United States Secret Service, director of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, and chief of staff of the Transportation Security Administration.

In January 1998, Basham was appointed director of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) by President Bill Clinton.

The centers, located in Glynco, Georgia and Artesia, New Mexico, provide training for nearly all of the nation's federal law enforcement officers, including Secret Service agents.

The FLETC also serves the state, local and federal law enforcement communities with training programs tailored to their specific needs.

Basham was a lead proponent of the Global Trade Exchange (GTX), an intelligence-driven supply-chain data-mining effort that was one of three components of CBP's Secure Freight Initiative.
