Minnesota LEOSA qualification

How qualification works in Minnesota

Minnesota has a statewide standard. Qualification must meet Minnesota Department of Public Safety standards for active law enforcement officers, as set out in the Minnesota POST Board's own "Instructions for Completion of the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA)" — administered by a certified firearms instructor and documented on a standard LEOSA weapons-qualification packet. A representative agency implementation of that state standard (Richfield PD) fires 50 rounds across four stages at the 3, 5, 7, and 15-yard lines, with a minimum passing score of 70% (35 of 50 silhouette hits). Minnesota residency is required to hold a Minnesota LEOSA certification, and qualification is required during the most recent 12-month period.
