LASER SHOT® - Deadly Force Response and Decision Making
This course is a continuing education/in-service course offered by the Commission. After completing a Basic Firearms Training course in the first year, officers must take an in-service/continuing education course starting the next calendar year to remain certified to carry a firearm, unless a petition/waiver is filed or the requirement is approved by the Commission.
