State of Oklahoma Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training Phase One Firearms Instructor Development School ______

Purpose:

The purpose of a CLEET Phase One of the Firearms Instructor Development Program (FIDP) presentation is to provide--and make available--training to certified peace officers within the State of Oklahoma interested in becoming a certified law enforcement firearms instructor under the umbrella of the State of Oklahoma’s Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training; for, whatever reasons, have not access to certified firearms instructors in their particular jurisdiction. The Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training is pleased to extend its available resources to agencies and officers alike in promulgating much needed life-saving skills, education and training necessary to be successful in protecting and preserving life. It goes without saying that the effective use of the law enforcement safety equipment is a critical training issue. Thus we invite officers to train with CLEET Staff and Adjuncts to learn the subtleties of the double action revolver, and/or auto pistol with an emphasis on basic fundamentals of marksmanship, and how to safely run the gun. Phase I, in essence, is the pre-test for Phase Two. Those successful in Phase One will advance to Phase two.

Firearms Instructor Candidates (FIC’s) who opt to participate in Phase I within their own jurisdiction are encouraged to do so. Nothing has really changed in this particular long- standing tradition. FIC’s must shoot 480 points out of a possible 600 in order to advance to Phase Two of the firearms instructor development program.

The FIC must perform under the supervision of a CLEET Certified Firearms Instructor. The CLEET certified Firearms Instructor is responsible for witnessing, validating, and attesting to the FIC’s a qualifying score (480) by personally applying his/her signature (and instructor number) to the document. The document must then be sent (snail mail or FAX) to the Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training, 2401 Egypt Road, Ada, OK 74820, Attn: Firearms Training Coordinator.

FIC’s completing the Phase One portion of the CLEET Firearms Instructor Development School will be credited for 16 hours of in-service training .

1. The FIC will shoot a minimum of seven qualification scores for record. 2. The FIC will perform prescribed reloads while competing in the PPC. 3.
