Record-breaking 7th year in a row for Law Enforcement Instructor Schools

For the past 7 years, the Law Enforcement Activities Division (LEAD) of the National Rifle Association has seen a steady increase in the number of law enforcement firearm instructors being trained, who in-turn train the officers in their agency or unit.

LEAD was established in 1960 to provide the law enforcement community with a comprehensive law enforcement firearm instructor-training program. This year over 2,150 new students have participated in the training program. Glen Hoyer, Director of LEAD, said the following of the increased participation, “Our record-breaking attendance in 2008 shows, not only the law enforcement community’s commitment to high standards, but, also, demonstrates the NRA’s willingness to provide a necessary service to the law enforcement community.”
