The following rule and regulation is established to meet the requirements set forth in State Statute 81-1412 that all law enforcement and Reserve officers successfully qualify on a handgun and patrol rifle qualification course approved by the Council.
As part of this statutory mandate, the Council recognizes the need to insure that such firearms training and qualification is provided by instructors who are proficient in the use of firearms and knowledgeable in the areas of current training techniques and the legal issues surrounding the use of firearms in the performance of law enforcement duties. In order to insure that firearms training and qualification courses are conducted by qualified law enforcement instructors, the Council has established Firearm Certification and Re-certification Standards for Nebraska Firearms Instructors.
