Handguns are provided by the Police Academy for use at the firing range. Under no circumstances are students allowed to be in possession of personal firearms while on campus or at Police Academy facilities. Possession of personal firearms on campus (other than secured inside your locked vehicle) or any Police Academy premises is grounds for dismissal from the Police Academy. This also applies to a person who holds a license to carry a handgun.(Effective Spring 2014). |
