Handgun Optics Instructor

The 24-hour CJTC Handgun Optics Instructor course is designed to bring current law enforcement, corrections, and private security firearms instructors up to date on the fundamentals of teaching and integrating handgun optics into their training curriculum or agency program.

Instructors will learn about the advancing technology of handgun optics and the rapid trend for duty use. This course is a blend of classroom and range to give the participant information related to handgun optics, concepts, principles, and training methodologies while also giving them practical range time to further develop their skill in operation and teaching the shotgun.

A prerequisite to attend the course is successful completion of the CJTC Handgun Instructor course, or comparable Handgun Instructor certifications. Comparable certifications are to be evaluated by the Firearms Program Manager.
