Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA)

The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a U.S. law that allows qualified current and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms nationwide, regardless of state laws. The law aims to enhance public safety by enabling these officers to protect themselves and others, especially as they may encounter dangerous situations even after retirement. To be eligible under LEOSA, officers must meet specific criteria, including a valid identification and firearm training certification. This legislation underscores the importance of their training and commitment to public safety, providing them legal recognition to carry firearms outside their home jurisdiction.
