North Dakota expands the firearm training standards retired officers can use to qualify as law enforcement officers under state law. Options include former-agency standards or standards used by a qualified, certified firearms instructor in the retiree's state of residence. Qualified concealed weapon test administrators can also use North Dakota attorney general standards for retired-officer tests inside or outside the state. Retirees must be in good standing, with at least 10 years of qualifying service or separation for a service-related physical disability. They must also maintain the firearms proficiency level required by the Peace Officers Standards and Training Board. Their local law enforcement agency photo ID must show prior law enforcement employment and a passed firearms proficiency test within 12 months before issuance. A medical finding of mental-health disqualification, or an agreement acknowledging that disqualification, bars eligibility.
Law enforcement agencies and concealed weapon test administrators can certify that a person has maintained the required state qualifications. This certification cannot qualify someone to carry a concealed firearm under the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act Improvement Act of 2010. Agencies and test administrators must send records of everyone who passes a proficiency qualification course to the Peace Officers Standards and Training Board.
