I found it funny yet a Crock that the services had an outside contractor issue the LE ID and charged them. The USAF actually have to renew it every 4 or so years. Glad I'm with DOJ and don't have to mess with the USAF red tape
What a PITA that application process looks like! Is it really worth the hassle? An Indiana LTC, and a Florida or Utah permit allows you to carry in a whole lot of states!
Just getting my Indiana permit now because it looked like a PITA to try and get this. Course, now I'll have the one, might as well try to get the other as well.
I think you'll find that the LEOSA handgun license is only good for one year. You have to go through the qualification in order to renew.
If you're LEOSA eligible, I urge you to check with the department where you have to qualify. Their process may well be a great deal different. I didn't have to do that PITA application posted above. The junk you find on the internet doesn't always apply.
By the way, I also have a lifetime LTCH issued to me by IPD when I retired.
Are you speaking of your IPD “Retired Creds”, since the ISP issues LTCH’s or something else wholly different?By the way, I also have a lifetime LTCH issued to me by IPD when I retired.
Thanks. I might have been able to get the discount on my application because of being retired Military Police, but I wasn't 100 percent and it wasn't too different in price.
Since my was Army LEO, I wasn't sure if I went Local (where I currently live), State or Federal?

Retired LEOs get the LTCH issued gratis in Indiana. I don't know for sure, but I think this predates LEOSA and was a way to guarantee retired officers continued to be able to carry when they turned in their badge.

It seems like this is a recent change, 2017 maybe?
Yes Sir! The change was the addition of twenty years of service without retirement. Now I need five more posts before I can respond to your private message.It seems like this is a recent change, 2017 maybe?
It doesn't matter where you retired from you fall within your state requirements. I am Federal DOJ and since my Agency has yet to offer a retired qualification for LEOSA our retired folks go through an ILEA instructor. Specifically a Clay County Deputy. Below is his site. It's free except a 10 dollar curtosy fee for the range at Protec.
