The Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility will be hosting quarterly H.R. 218 firearms qualifications for retired Law Enforcement personnel. Active firearms instructors from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to conduct the qualifications and provide successful participants with signed and dated qualification receipts.
You will need to provide your own firearm(s) and ammunition. You may qualify with a maximum of two guns per qualification day. You MUST have your current retired Law Enforcement picture credentials or a letter from past employing LE agency(s) that you left in “good standing” with a minimum of 10 cumulative years of service to present to an instructor prior to firing the H.R.218 qualification course.
There is a $40.00 fee for this service and payment must be made to an instructor before a qualification is completed. Payment can be in the form of a personal check, made payable to the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Foundation, or exact cash.
