The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a firearms qualification shoot for Retired Law Enforcement Officers on October 11 at 8:30 in the morning. The shoot will be held at the new Sheriff’s Office firing range, located at the former Baxter County Quarry on Baxter County Road 69 off Arkansas Highway 5 South.
The cost is $10 to be paid in advance. The retired officer must furnish his or her own firearm and ammunition, with certain restrictions applied. Any retired law enforcement officers interested in participating in the firearms qualifications shoot will need to come to the Sheriff’s Office to register in advance by filling out a written application and signing 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 satisfactorily completing 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.
