LEOSA training
Why does pa make it so difficult to get LEOSA certified when everything they want you to do isn’t required under LEOSA? And my former agency doesn’t allow photo copying of my credentials

Re: LEOSA training
My Sheriff asked my I keep getting my LTCF when I'm covered under LEOSA. I told him being retired means I have to jump through a few hoops to maintain my certification. If I don't get to it within the year, I'm still covered in state.

Re: LEOSA training
Agree with the above, I have my retired creds from WA state. Go through the hoops each year to shoot the LEOSA Retired Officer qual. Last couple of times I have shot it at A&S Indoor Range in Youngwood - guy that runs it is a good guy and squared away. I've also qualified at my old department in WA state when I have gone home to visit my parents - gives me a chance to see how things are running at my old P.D.
This year I might shoot the course at Keystone Shooting Range where I'm a member at. Coming up in September.
I do keep my PA LTCF too.Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice.

Re: LEOSA training
It's not hard to get qualified under LEOSA, unless your department is doing something bizarre. What credentials do you need to be copied? All they have to do is issue you a photo ID......if they feel like doing it. Nothing forces them to issue it to you though!
My gripe with PA is they do not adhere to the definition of firearm as laid out in the Federal Law. No where in LEOSA does it say "handgun".......instead it says "firearm", which means ANY firearm (handgun, rifle or shotgun). If you look up the definition in the Federal Law you will see what I mean.
According to LEOSA, the retired officer needs to qualify with a firearm (we'll say handgun), and then he is okay to carry ANY handgun, not just the one used for qualification. However, PA has the opinion that if the controls of the handgun are different (Sig vs Glock), then the retired officer must qualify with both. And, if might want to carry a revolver, then that is another qualification.
PA also makes me note the make and model of the retired officers handguns. Not required under LEOSA.Last edited by Steve in PA; August 1st, 2018 at 04:54 PM.

Re: LEOSA training
Still required. It's on the bottom of the acknowledgment form. Semi-auto or revolver, make/model, type of ammo and number of rounds/COF.

Re: LEOSA training
This is the old form, which we no longer have to use or submit.
