Iowa Admin. Code r. 661-93.1
It is the policy of the Iowa department of public safety to provide any qualified former peace officer member of the department with a permanent card that identifies the holder as a qualified former law enforcement officer upon separation from employment as a peace officer with the department. These rules provide a procedure for a qualified former member of the department to apply for a new or duplicate former peace officer identification (ID) card after the person is no longer employed by the department as a peace officer, to complete required annual firearms qualification under auspices of the department and receive a card certifying that such required annual firearms qualification has been completed, and to appeal decisions of the department not to issue a former peace officer identification card or an annual firearms qualification card.
