2024 HR218 Qualification Walkthrough

"In-service and HR218 will be required to shoot the same
38-round daylight qualification course as BRT, which
will go into effect July 1, 2024, for the new firearms
qualification cycle." - FDLE
We've completed the updated training for the new qualification and thus we wanted to share how the new qualification will go so that you know what to expect when you come to do your qualification with us.
As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

It has not been HR228 since it was enacted. The proper reference citation is LEOSA, or 18 usc 926b or c depending on status. Words matter.

[@robertschwister3872]

Excellent video, Andy. Are there different target zones for each of the six stages, or is it the entire silhouette throughout? (In Wisconsin, we use a smaller scoring zone for 3 and 7 yard shooting line, and full body silhouette for 15 and 25 yard shooting line.). Thanks!

[@lwood264]

Andy Nice editing job, 7 yard line after reload 5 rounds..

I am a Florida LEO instructor and do a lot of LEOSA quals. I’ll try to address the questions. No, this is not the G license qual, this is the new Florida LE qual for recruits, active and retired. No, each state is different, this is the new Florida qual, effective 07/01/2024.
Yes, revolvers are still allowed, but you better be s$&t hot to fire 12 rounds with a reload in 20 seconds and get your hits.
Smaller magazines are fine, you just have to comply with the number of rounds in each phase. No scoring zones. Anywhere on the main body of the silhouette, including breaking a line is good. Arms are a miss.
And YES-please contact your member of congress about HR-354. That will clean up all of the issues with LEOSA, including making a standard qualification.
Just did my last LEOSA class on the old course. I would estimate at least 50+% of the retirees that I dealt with won’t come close to passing the new standard

Is this the new qualification for the G license?

[@christophervasquez5423]

Is this also for EFT ?

[@user-fr3vs6or7v]

lol love the range antics. Looking behind left and right… no one does this in real life it’s a rangism.

[@TacticalFirearmsAcademyFL]

The "range antics" you are referring to are actually REQUIRED during this new qualification... We didn't make up with qual but this is how they expect everyone to do it thus we have to teach it this way.

[@chuckhall1270]

What about qualifying with revolver for HR218.

[@user-co6wj1vv3c]

I think they changed it to only one firearm, revolver or semiautomatic, when I Irequalified in NY the instructor said we need to fire only one weapon and that would qualify for both

[@palmcoastg35]

My HR-218 buddies asked, what if they don't have 13rd magazines?

[@TacticalFirearmsAcademyFL]

Florida has no restrictions on mag capacity. They can purchase one

[@wm7312]

They can go back to komifornia.

[@parker701chief9]

What if their HR218 CCW does not have 13 round capacity? Did you think about that one FDLE?

[@ronaldfranck6960]

@@parker701chief9 I would imagine between segments the shooter would be allowed to reload a smaller capacity magazine, just so that the magazine runs dry when the mandatory reload falls in the sequence of fire.

[@oldretiredguy983]

Is this the new qualification course for all 50 states ?

[@markhamersly1664]

N O ! ! !

[@I90west]

Absolutely not . Totally different in NYS and much harder .

[@user-co6wj1vv3c]

HR 218 brothers google HR 354, new bill proposed in congress that benefits us.

[@opalocka06]

Fairly simple
