There is waaaaaaay too much erroneous information regarding LEOSA. I strongly suggest everyone who is affected READ the law!

That said, the great state of Maryland is wholly proactive and accomodating regarding qualification of state residents. Residents is important. If you are a resident of the state you can be qualified for LEOSA purposes even if your LE orgainization did not choose to qualify you pursuant to the provisions of LEOSA.

I am happy to be a resident of Maryland and affected by enlightened leadership as evidenced by the acceptance and recognition of LEOSA. FYI, I retired in 2005 and have qualified five (5) times.

Be safe.
