One of the above posters stated that he was surprised that so few LEOs know about LEOSA...I think the reason is that most of them don't care. 95+% of the LEOs I have worked with didn't carry a gun off-duty when they were full time...and they are going to carry after they retire....at their own expense...

When I worked for Dallas PD we were required to be armed off duty if we were in the city....from what I was told that changed in the 1990s and don't know what the policy is now. In the two smaller departments I worked for after, in the 38 man department only two of us carried off-duty. When both of us went to a 68 man department only us and the chief firearms instructor carried. I was just talking with with the chief firearms instructor in the town I was from in Connecticut. He said that "maybe" 25% of their officers carry off-duty....I'll bet it isn't even 10%.

Anyone come from a department that has a high percentage of officers who carry off-duty and have a lot of officers doing the LEOSA program after retirement?
