DPSST Armed Security Professional

This 24 hour course is presented over a period of 3 days from 8 AM to 5 PM each day.  Students are required to have their own or issued gear and handgun.  This course includes classroom and range training plus a qualification using the PQC-1 course.  This is not a novice firearms course.  Student candidates are expected to have a basic foundation of handgun safety and competency in marksmanship prior to attending, and are expected to pass the PQC-1 qualification on the last day.  3 attempts will be allowed.  Students that do not pass the PQC-1 in 3 attempts will be invited back on another day for an additional cost for additional attempts.  There is an additional fee of $25 (plus any applicable range fees) for qualification attempts beyond the first 3 attempts.   Armed refresher classes are 4 hours and are from 8 AM to 1 PM and include qualification with 1 firearm.

​​​

Additional Handguns

Each Armed Security course/renewal course cost includes 1 handgun for qualification.  Per state law, you must qualify with any handgun that you intend to carry on duty.  An additional charge of $25 per "additional" handgun will be assessed on the first day, prior to qualification.​​  Upon successful qualification, students will be issued a "qualification card"​​​ for the firearm(s) they qualify with.​​​
