LEOSA plus a CCW?

[Mr. Beretta]

Regardless of whether you have a ccw perming in addition to your LE credential, if you get into a shooting, there is still a nexus to your Department and any lawyer worth his salt will make that connection.

On the other hand, if you have a ccw, your Department may try to wash theirs hands of you, making you cover your own legal bills and any judgement against you.

Keep your LEOSA qualifications current, as well as your Department certifications and enjoy life.

The Lt is spot on.

The only thing I will add is, if you're a honorably retired peace officer and do not have "OIS" insurance.... you're nuts!

And like the other member said, join & become a retired associate member of PORAC, pay the additional few bucks and get covered under their “Retired Associate Member Legal Defense Fund”.

None better!

Curious, given that LEOSA is good for one year, and California law requires requalification every 5 years, what Department requires quarterly qualification for retires.

The CA agency I retired from wants a annual shoot and every five years they issue a CCW good for another five years.
