G-License - 4-Hour - Annual Firearms Proficiency / Re-qualification --- $80

This is the state mandated 4 hour annual re-qualification, required of every Armed Security Officer.  The class entails a review of the 28 hour G-Class and range time.  On the range, just as you fired in your initial G-Class, firing will consist of three sets of 48 rounds for a total of 144 rounds.  Upon meeting the minimum score and passing the written test the security officer will be given a "Certificate of Firearms Proficiency" form that will be used during the license renewal process.  The security officer must use an approved service sidearm on the range and will be certified with this caliber handgun only.  Each officer is required to draw from a holster and perform speed reloading of their sidearm. Cost of class does not include range fees, firearm or ammunition. If the officer wishes to qualify with multiple guns during the same class, the fee is $50 per additional gun.

A firearm may be rented and with the $15 firearm rental, a duty belt, holster and magazines or speed loaders will be provided. Ammunition is $15 per box of 9mm ammunition.
