The 75E is Virginia’s 24-hour security officer handgun course, $250, and the handgun course on the armed security officer path, taught in Manassas by certified firearms instructors who take it seriously.
Prerequisites
You must meet Virginia’s legal requirements to possess and carry a firearm, and you must be a US citizen or legal permanent resident for the firearms portion.
From class to working armed
Finishing the class is not the finish line. You also submit fingerprints, register with DCJS, and complete your firearms qualification on record. We walk you through each step.
Keeping your certification current
Armed officers requalify on a schedule. We run firearms requalification (07R, 4 hours, $110) and in-service (01I, 4 hours, $50) on Mondays and Fridays.
Common questions
Does finishing the class let me work armed right away?
Not by itself. Your DCJS registration and firearms qualification have to be on record first.
