To all Military Police Corps Members,
So with the new Army Directive 2015-03, the LEOSA Act of 2004, which has been updated to include all law enforcement in the military branches. It is a great opportunity for the law enforcement community within the uniformed services to have, but how many feel, that there should be some stricter guidelines for carrying off-duty and Concealed?
Should there be a set age limit? Rank? Maybe even discretion of the unit to allow it? I do know that we do know always have the most mature members in the branches and some may feel that it is a great opportunity, and other feel that it is a catastrophe waiting to happen, and it get yanked, never to allow it again.
Do some of you in the law enforcement side of the uniformed services and even civilian feel that there should be a set standard across the board on this, or should it be only allowed after the FLETA accreditation from USAMPS is given out?

I'm going to HIJACK this threat for a min since I cant find the one I started about 2 years ago:
There were some MP brothers in gun adverse states ie Hawaii that were told by the local police chief they could not have weapons......the courts have ruled that the local police chief can't make that call if you are issued the credentials they have to honor them
ALSO because of recent case law 31E's are also eligible to apply~

Us guys in NY State are able to buy weapons just using this.. NJ still requires all law enforcement to get a Firearms Purchases ID.. but it only takes half the time... so far no MP here has done anything stupid and No news outlet has reported anything, so it is good news

I applied in Hawaii through the attorney generals office and was approved for Hawaii leosa. Kind of an issue but I also have the army leosa card as well.

SGT JAHKE,
In my opinion, I think it's a great opportunity for our armed forces for the following reasons: First to get job, as armed guard security where state like NY, NJ etc. it is hard to get a gun permit and also, it's good as a military to get some off-time training on your weapon. As we all know that soldiers don’t have time to train and have hard time to qualify on their weapon. Another benefit that you can protect yourself off duty. But my issue is why marines giving their leosa credential for only 1 year minimum and the army you need 6 years. Something is not right there. I think all service member should have the minimum 1 year that’s it.

Each Service gets to make its requirements...the Army was too scared to have JOE with a gun

I also think because the Marine Corps has had a law enforcement alumni since the 90s made it more different, unlike Army and AF... we werent considered LE until the Army implemented FLETA...

There is going to be a standardized DoD POST examination. It will be the same for all services. When implemented, there should be a standardized LEOSA program as well. The Army will be sure to screw that up though.
