The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a firearms qualification shoot for retired law enforcement officers on April 10 beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Sheriff’s firing range at the old Baxter County Quarry on County Road 69 off Highway 5 South. The entrance will be marked with signs.
The cost is $10, payable in advance. Retired officers must furnish their own firearm and ammunition, with certain restrictions applying.
Interested officers must register in advance at the Sheriff’s Office by completing a written application and signing a release and waiver of liability form.
The qualification course was developed by certified firearms instructors with the Sheriff’s Office. Officers who successfully complete the course will receive an official card from the Sheriff’s Office confirming they have passed. The Sheriff’s Office does not participate in the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards qualification process, so retired officers will not receive a card from that agency.
For more information or to register, contact the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office at (870) 425-7000.
