(1)In order to maintain his or her certification as a peace officer, each certified peace
officer shall annually meet the marksmanship qualification requirement for a retired
peace officer as specified in KRS 237.140. Each law enforcement agency or other
employing agency whose officers are required to meet the requirements of this
subsection shall retain a record of each of its officers having met the annual
marksmanship qualification. These records shall be made available upon request to
the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council and to the Justice and Public Safety
Cabinet in order to carry out its responsibilities under KRS 15.330 and 15.450.
(2)Any law enforcement or other agency employing a certified peace officer may
require the certified peace officer to meet a marksmanship qualification requirement
which is in excess of that specified in KRS 237.140. Failure of a certified peace
officer to meet the increased marksmanship qualification requirement specified by
his or her employing or appointing agency shall not affect the certification of the
officer, but may subject the officer to discipline by the agency, including suspension
or dismissal of the officer from the agency.
