  • Certification and recertification for all instructor disciplines is good for 3 years from the date of issuance.

  • Recertification reminders are mailed 3 to 4 months prior to certification expiration with a follow-up being mailed around the time of expiration. The cost to recertify is $30 for your first discipline, and $50 for two or more. At this time, ALL of your un-expired certifications will then expire on the same date.

  • Beginning 1/1/04, 24 hours of documented continuing law enforcement firearms education will be required to have been obtained during the previous three year period in order to recertify. Specifics can be found below in the Application for Registration of Continuing Education Hours form.

  • If applying for certification for the first time, the school for which you are requesting certification must have been completed within the previous 6 months.

  • There is a six month grace period to apply for recertification once your certification has lapsed.

  • NRA membership is required to maintain your NRA law enforcement firearm instructor certification. Should your membership expire and/or lapse during the three-year period of your firearm instructor certification, that certification shall be suspended until such time as your membership is restored in good standing. There are membership discounts for law enforcement firearm instructors available through our division. Please use the membership application and renewal form below to take advantage of these discounted fees.

  • In addition to the membership requirement for certification, if you are employed by a private law enforcement agency, "Agency Affiliation" is required by your employer as well. A private law enforcement officer is someone employed by an agency other than a government agency. This will include, but is not limited to, private security, nuclear security (does not include DOE sites), armored car guards, personal protection specialists, private investigators, privatized corrections, etc. The cost to "affiliate" your agency is $95 for 3 years and $150 for 5 years.

  • Agency Affiliation is available to BOTH private and public law enforcement companies/agencies. It is required for private, and optional for public. Becoming agency affiliated provides the following benefits:

    • Review and subsequent approval of all submitted training lesson plans and qualification courses of fire by NRA Law Enforcement Activities Division staff and NRA General Council.

    • Ability to provide NRA law enforcement "training completion" and "qualification" certificates to your officers.

    • Professional affiliation with the oldest firearm safety and training organization in the world.
