NRA Trains More Law Enforcement Officers Than Ever NRA's law enforcement instructor schools have seen a 25% rise in students in the past year. Over the past 40 years, more than 45,000 individuals have gone through NRA's Law Enforcement Instructor Development schools.NRA offers seven distinct courses for law enforcement officers, from Handgun/Shotgun to Precision Rifle to Tactical Shotgun. Elite military units attend the classes as well. The affordable, state-of-the-art training translates into better policing, safer neighborhoods and fewer officer fatalities. Graduates of the classes may apply to become certified by NRA to go back to their departments and school other officers. Currently, more than 10,000 officers and private security specialists are NRA-certified."Continuing your professional law enforcement training on a regular basis makes sense any way you look at it," said Ron Kirkland, director of NRA's Law Enforcement Activities Division and himself a retired Special Agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "Our schools represent the best training for your dollar in the country," added Kirkland.Classes are scheduled across the country, and all-new lesson plans, manuals, and CD-ROM training aids are available for sale to law enforcement officers and agencies to help ensure that it's easy to stay current and pass on knowledge to fellow officers back home."We provide our students with the manuals, handouts, and targets that they need to complete our courses," said Glen Hoyer, manager of NRA's Law Enforcement Training Department. "For $450, or about half the cost of most law enforcement instructor schools in the country, you'll get first-rate instruction, all the information needed to plan your own class, and plenty of new training methods and ideas to stew over," said Hoyer, who added that NRA's non-profit status makes such bargains possible."The best available training for those serving our communities is what we provide," said Hoyer. "Staying on top of your game has always been a priority for law enforcement, and it's even more important in today's litigious world - with proper training comes reduced liability, something every department needs to consider," concluded Hoyer.For more information on NRA's law enforcement instructor development schools, visit www.nrahq.org/safety/law, e-mail lead@nrahq.org, or call 703-267-1640 http://www.mynra.com/display_content/show_content.cfm?mod_id=51&id=2175
