07R/O1I retraining
 

Mandatory retraining for armed security officers should stay the same at this time due to challenging economic conditions.Officers are considered registrants so the cost of retraining can and will be placed on the officer when companies are trying to save money.That means the officer could miss a day of pay,pay for class time and any range fees if they go to a private range plus they would have to pay for the state registration fee.

However, security schools could offer an active shooter training course similar to what police use to train their officers.This course could be offered as an elective for the officer.
