Legal & Compliance • Firearm Compliance Programme

Regulation 21 Firearm Training

Supporting Organisational Firearm Compliance and Professional Accountability

Organisations that issue firearms to security personnel have significant legal and organisational responsibilities relating to competency, accountability, safe handling and firearm control.

This programme develops an understanding of the principles associated with Regulation 21, safe firearm administration and organisational responsibilities. It complements statutory competency requirements and does not replace accredited firearm qualification where required by law.

Programme Overview

Firearm compliance depends upon disciplined administration as much as safe handling. Organisations must maintain accurate records, ensure personnel are properly authorised, apply recognised procedures and demonstrate continuing accountability throughout the firearm life cycle.

This programme introduces the principles supporting organisational firearm compliance together with the responsibilities of Security Officers, supervisors and firearm-control personnel.

Practical shooting exercises, competency assessments and statutory certification remain part of accredited training delivered within the appropriate legal framework.
