The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a handgun qualification course for retired/separated law enforcement officers from any law enforcement agency of Genesee County or any officers currently residing within Genesee County who also meet the requirements of the HR218/S.1132 Law Enforcement Safety Act.
HR218/S.1132 qualification cards reflecting the style of handgun used (semi-automatic and/or revolver) and the date of the course will be issued to those successfully completing the course with a minimum qualification score of 80%.
Class will commence in the gray classroom at the Fire Training Center. Please ensure all handguns are unloaded prior to entering the classroom. DO NOT bring a loaded handgun or any live ammunition into the classroom.
There is no fee for the course.
