Each agency or entity that employs at least one peace officer shall designate a ______ officer to be responsible for the documentation of annual firearms proficiency.

• A. Range Master
• B. Firearms Proficiency Officer
• C. Training Supervisor
• D. Weapons Accountability Officer

Answer: (B)

Designating an officer to document annual firearms proficiency is about assigning accountability for tracking each officer’s qualification and keeping the records up to date. The Firearms Proficiency Officer is the correct designation because the title directly signals responsibility for firearms proficiency and its documentation, making it clear who maintains the records and coordinates requalification. Other titles cover different duties: a Range Master typically oversees range safety and operations, a Training Supervisor manages broader training programs, and a Weapons Accountability Officer handles weapon inventories rather than proficiency records. Assigning the Firearms Proficiency Officer ensures precise accountability for annual qualifications.
