The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a firearms qualification shoot for Retired Law Enforcement Officers on Friday, April 29, 2011 beginning at 8:00 AM.  This will be held at the firing range on Baxter CR 782 off State Highway 201 North.

     The cost for this process is Ten Dollars ($10.00), payable in advance.  The retired officer must furnish his or her own firearm and ammunition (certain restrictions apply).  Any retired law enforcement officers interested in participating in the firearms qualifications shoot will need to come to the Sheriff’s Office no later than Wednesday, April 27th, at 4:30 PM and fill out a written application and sign a release and waiver of liability form.
