Skill level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: Current or Retired Officer

This is a DPSST certifed course taught by DPSST certified instructors to meet the firearm qualification requirements outlined in the HR 218 Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004.

On July 22, 2004 President Bush signed into legislation a new federal law, which exempts law enforcement officers (LEO) from state laws prohibiting carrying concealed firearms. The law allows "qualifed" LEOs, current or retired, to carry a concealed firearm in any state without a CHL.

This qualification course, once completed and passed, meets the annual required state firearms qualification course of fire.
