The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a firearms qualification shoot for retired law enforcement officers Friday morning beginning at 9. The qualifications shoot will be held at the firing range on Baxter County Road 782 off State Highway 201 North.The cost for this process is $10, payable in advance. The retired officer must furnish his or her own firearm and ammunition (certain restrictions apply). Any retired law enforcement officers interested in participating in the firearms qualifications shoot will need to visit the sheriff’s office to register in advance by completing a written application and sign a release and waiver of liability form.The qualification course has been developed and selected by certified firearms instructors of the sheriff’s office. Those officers who successfully pass the course will be issued an official card from the sheriff’s office attesting to their having satisfactorily completed the course.

Retired officers will not be issued a qualification card from the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards, as the sheriff’s office does not participate in that process.

Firing range rules and other limitations will apply. Contact the sheriff’s office for further details at (870) 425-7000.
