HR218 (Retired Officer Firearm Qualification)

For qualifying retired law enforcement officers under 18 USC 926C (LEOSA/HR218), please refer to the following:

1. This questionnaire must be completed by the former agency. It must be signed by the former hiring authority and submitted at the time of qualification. ILEA must receive proof that the individual left employment in good standing.
2. Individuals administering the qualification must be a current, active ILEA approved Firearms instructor.
3. The qualified individual must be given an ILEA approved HR218 card. These are found on the Acadis portal document library and must include date and signature of the instructor.
4. A copy of the signed questionnaire and the signed HR218 cards must be submitted to ILEA (scanned and sent to Kathryn.fukuda@iowa.gov). This must be done by the card recipient within 72 hours of the qualification. Because ILEA is the entity qualifying individuals, all cards given must be tracked in the system for record keeping.
