Summary of The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004 On July 22, 2004, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) of 2004, also commonly called HR 218, became law. (18 , 926B, 926C.) This federal law allows a qualified law Enforcement officer or a qualified retired law Enforcement officer with identification that meets specified criteria to carry a concealed firearm anywhere in the nation, notwithstanding most other state and local laws which restrict the possession of concealed weapons. In order to be a qualified law Enforcement officer under the LEOSA, a person must meet the following requirements: 1. Be an employee of a governmental agency who is authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of, or the incarceration of any person for any violation of law; 2.
The specific curriculum for the training of peace officers is established by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.). However, current California law does not set a statewide standard for the training and qualification of active law enforcement officers after graduation from the academy.
