Security officers and or private investigators must submit proof of proficiency that they received during each year of the license period a minimum of 4 hours of firearms recertification training taught by a Class “K” firearms instructor.
Class G License holder will be required to achieve a passing score of 168 out of a possible 240 score. If they qualify on the first attempt shooting 48 rounds for a passing score of 168 or better then they have passed the State qualification and will not be required to shoot another relay. If the license holder fails to achieve a passing score after three attempts, he or she will be instructed to seek additional remedial training and schedule another requalification attempt at a later date with the K instructor. If the Class G Licensee fails to complete the required 4 hours of annual training during the first year of the 2-year term of the license, the license is automatically suspended. The Class G License holder will have to complete the entire 28 hour Statewide Firearms Course again to remove the suspension of the Statewide Firearms license.
The Division may waive the Class G License firearms training requirement if:
- The licensee provides proof that they are currently certified as a law enforcement officer or correctional officer under the Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission and has completed law enforcement firearms requalification training annually during the previous 2 years of the licensure period.
- The licensee provides proof that he or she is currently certified as a federal law enforcement officer and has received law enforcement firearms training administered by a federal law enforcement agency annually during the previous 2 years of the licensure period.
