MCOLES and the CCW Law

The Michigan Commission On Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) is responsible for certifying firearm instructors and instructional programs for the purpose of providing pistol safety training to CCW applicants as required in the new statute, PA 381. Individuals may also receive this training through a state or national firearm training organization (e.g. NRA). MCOLES certification will be limited to "this state training organizations" which have been defined as MCOLES approved basic training academies and MCOLES recognized law enforcement agencies. Those law enforcement agencies or regional training academies interested in participating in the delivery of the "MCOLES Pistol Safety Training Course" may obtain state certification through MCOLES.
