Looking for a LE patrol rifle instructor certification course in the NE. Seen a few but unable to attend. Just looking to see if there is anything I missed.

Just a heads up for other LEOs looking to attend any of PSPs firearm courses. PSP is now charging officers to attend. I got my pistol/shotgun instructor from PSP and attended their tactical carbine course without having to pay. Not sure when they started
To charge, but just wanted to give a heads up.

Yeah, that's definitely something new. Guess they need to work on paying back the $4 Billion dollars they owe PennDOT!

Looks like it's just for their "instructor" courses. Guess they got tired of everyone taking the courses for free instead of having to pay for one's from the NRA, Sig, etc.

I understand that not having to actually pay for a valuable, lifesaving service, after which you can share lifesaving and fight winning info after, is a tough change...but seriously..... If the intent of the post was just a head's up to start saving a few pennies, or do better at making the person who makes training budget allocations a friend...I hope the squared away young officers say "thank you" and you will adjust course. But if anyone is whining....you better look in the mirror and ask WTF are you doing in this line of work. "Public Service"

No one is whining. I think the person who posted this was just giving an FYI. I have many certifications from other organizations paid for by my department. I also have several from PSP, which were all free to my department. I’ll be doing this job for 21 years come February. I have to work on the officer(s) who will take over my firearm instructor duties.

I guess after all the years of free firearm instructor credentials, they decided to jump on the bandwagon of other entities that issue instructor credentials and start charging.
