An HR218 Recertification Course is designed for qualified law enforcement officers to maintain their eligibility to carry concealed firearms under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), also known as HR218. This law allows active and retired officers to carry concealed firearms nationwide, with certain restrictions.

The recertification course typically includes:

• A review of the LEOSA guidelines and regulations.
• Firearms training and proficiency testing to demonstrate safe handling and shooting skills.
• An assessment of legal and ethical considerations, such as the use of force and concealed carry laws in various states.
• A range qualification to confirm the officer’s ability to safely and accurately use their firearm.

The recertification is usually required annually to ensure that officers remain compliant with HR218, ensuring their firearm handling skills and legal knowledge stay up to date.
