| DPSST Firearms Qualification Course for Retired Law Enforcement | The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to provide Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) Firearms Qualification Course(s) to retired law-enforcement officers, pursuant to the Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act of 2004 (HR 218). Retired Law Enforcement Officers who meet the necessary qualifications and wish to complete the HR 218 Qualification Course can contact the Public Safety Training Center (PSTC) at 503-794-8065 to make an appointment with a Range Training Officer. Please use the link below to review these qualifications. The PSTC does not allow any outside ammunition, and will provide ammunition for the qualification. Fee schedule:
The 25 rounds of ammunition not used in the qualification can be used for practice, or retained to re-attempt if needed. In the event someone does not qualify on the first attempt, they may purchase an additional target for $1.00 (and ammunition if necessary) and attempt one additional qualification. Persons are limited to 2 qualification attempts per day. If a retiree does not qualify after two attempts, they will have to re-schedule for another day, and pay the qualification fee again. | |

| PST 100 Personal Concealed Carry $40 | This 4-hour course is the starting point for educating yourself in firearms safety and defensive use of the handgun.

| PST 101 Basic Handgun Skill Development $159 | This one-day class is the starting point for the Public Safety Training Center’s handgun skills curriculum. It requires no prior handgun knowledge or experience. Understanding the principles of basic firearms safety is emphasized throughout PST 101 -- in a classroom lecture and on the range. The fundamentals of marksmanship are a focus of the class, in both dry- and live-fire exercises. Classes are scheduled each month on selected Saturdays or Sundays, beginning at 9 a.m. Though completion of this class satisfies the statute requirements for application for an Oregon concealed handgun license, it is strongly recommended that the student seek additional training in Oregon’s Use of Force laws, presented in PST 100.

| 101A Accelerated Basic Pistol $159 | This full-day course is intended for graduates of PST 101 (or students who wish to bypass PST 101) and who wish to continue their training and achieve entrance to PST 102. Picking up where we finished in 101, this class introduces some basic defensive-handgun skills (no holsters required or allowed). This is "102 prep." Prerequisites include both prior training and an entrance exam. This class requires PST 101 or an Instructor Waiver. The entrance exam is a live-fire evaluation of your gun handling and basic marksmanship skill. There is no additional fee or appointment necessary to take this test. Though completion of this class satisfies the statute requirements for application for an Oregon concealed handgun license, it is strongly recommended that the student seek additional training in Oregon's Use of Force laws, presented in PST 100. | |
| PST 102 Defensive Handgun Skill Development $299 | This intensive 2-day course (minimum 16 hours) is the starting point for realistic self-defense preparedness.

You will learn the professional attitudes and personal habits needed to keep you safe -- as well as gain a unique understanding of some of the legal and personal responsibilities you assume as a gun owner. You will learn to safely and efficiently draw from concealment, re-holster, reload and clear malfunctions. You will increase accuracy and speed through coached and supervised systematic, repetitive drills. You will develop your ability to safely operate your handgun with control, precision and speed.

The focus of this class is the mindset, skills, tactics and techniques that are essential in winning a lethal-force confrontation. Download flyer. (PDF) | |
