NY is out of control only a employed PO/firearms instructor can provide the LEOSA course. If you are an instructor and retire, you can't train for the LEOSA act. Thankfully, some agencies have a course for retired Officers. In Va, it is instructors approved by the VSP. I went to a private range, who was on the VSP list, completed the qualification course and got my LEOSA card. NY retired Cops, still living in NY have to go to a few PD's who offer the training. NYPD refuses to do it.
I would like to caution retired Cops that you no longer have Police powers, instead of probable cause, you need "In fact committed" circumstances, before you take action. As a retired Cop, I would just state irrefutable facts, like the perp pointed or fired a weapon at me, I discharged my firearm and I would like to make no further statements before I speak to my lawyer.
