Firearms Instructor School Phase I and Phase II - State of Oklahoma

State of Oklahoma
Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training
Phase One
Firearms Instructor Development School
_____________________________________________________________
Purpose:
The purpose of a CLEET Phase One of the Firearms Instructor Development Program
(FIDP) presentation is to provide--and make available--training to certified peace officers
within the State of Oklahoma interested in becoming a certified law enforcement firearms
instructor under the umbrella of the State of Oklahoma’s Council on Law Enforcement
Education & Training; for, whatever reasons, have not access to certified firearms
instructors in their particular jurisdiction. The Council on Law Enforcement Education &
Training is pleased to extend its available resources to agencies and officers alike in
promulgating much needed life-saving skills, education and training necessary to be
successful in protecting and preserving life. It goes without saying that the effective use
of the law enforcement safety equipment is a critical training issue. Thus we invite
officers to train with CLEET Staff and Adjuncts to learn the subtleties of the double
action revolver, and/or auto pistol with an emphasis on basic fundamentals of
marksmanship, and how to safely run the gun. Phase I, in essence, is the pre-test for
Phase Two. Those successful in Phase One will advance to Phase two.
Firearms Instructor Candidates (FIC’s) who opt to participate in Phase I within their own
jurisdiction are encouraged to do so. Nothing has really changed in this particular longstanding
tradition. FIC’s must shoot 480 points out of a possible 600 in order to advance
to Phase Two of the firearms instructor development program.
The FIC must perform under the supervision of a CLEET Certified Firearms Instructor.
The CLEET certified Firearms Instructor is responsible for witnessing, validating, and
attesting to the FIC’s a qualifying score (480) by personally applying his/her signature
(and instructor number) to the document. The document must then be sent (snail mail or
FAX) to the Council on Law Enforcement Education & Training, 2401 Egypt Road, Ada,
OK 74820, Attn: Firearms Training Coordinator.
FIC’s completing the Phase One portion of the CLEET Firearms Instructor Development
School will be credited for 16 hours of in-service training.
