Am I eligible for a training waiver?
If you can demonstrate to the satisfaction of DCJS that you have already taken training which meets or exceeds the 47-hour firearms training, you may be eligible for a waiver.
Active duty police officers must register with the Department of State to perform services as an armored car guard. Active duty police officers are not required to complete any firearms training. However, you must submit a certification of status with your application for armored car guard. This certifies that you are an active duty police officer in good standing. Certifications of status must be on official letterhead and be signed by either the chief or personnel officer.
Individuals previously employed as police officers are considered civilians. A police officer who has retired within the last five years, may qualify for a waiver from the 47-hour firearms training.
Individuals who are no longer active duty police officers and do not qualify for a waiver, must complete the 47-hour firearms training course.
Active duty peace officers must register with the Department of State to perform services as an armored car guard. Active duty peace officers may be exempt from further firearms training if you have already taken training which meets or exceeds the 47-hour firearms training.
Active duty peace officers who have completed the basic course for peace officers with long firearms may submit their basic course certificates with their applications.
A certificate for the basic course is valid for five years from the date of retirement. Retired peace officers who have had the long firearms training, may qualify for a waiver.
Individuals who are no longer active duty peace officers and do not have a valid basic course certificate, or do not qualify for a waiver, must complete the 47-hour firearms training course.
