The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday they will be conducting a firearms qualification shoot for Retired Law Enforcement Officers Oct. 13 at 8:30. The event will be held at the firing range located on Baxter County Road 782 off Arkansas Highway 201 North.
The cost is $10 and must be paid in advance. Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery states retired officers must furnish their own firearm and ammunition. Any retired law enforcement officers interested in participating in the firearms qualifications shoot are asked to go to the Sheriff’s Office to register in advance and fill out a written application along with signing a release and waiver of liability form.
Montgomery states the qualification course has been developed and selected by certified firearms instructors of the Sheriff’s Office. Officers who successfully pass the course will be issued an official card from the Sheriff’s Office attesting to 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. For more information, contact the Sheriff’s Office at 870-425-7000.
