Shot in the dark here.. Any LEO in here that would be able to point me in the right direction to find established verbage in Memo form for approval of a Lower powered variable optic for departmental approval?

 

[FredHammer]

For individual officer permission to buy and use, or departmental wide approval?

 

[Omegon25]

This would be an agency/team wide authorization to approve purchase and use

I don't have anything personally but the Vortex LE guy I know may be able to help you. Let me see if I can dig up his info.

I would check with your state’s credentialing agency as well. Here in Texas any optic greater than 5x on a patrol rifle is considered a sniper or precision rifle so that means depts wanting to use a 1-6/8/10x will have to have “specialized training” for it to be allowed. That is dumb as hell but rules are rules for the state and depts to abide by.

Typical bureaucracy.. the selling point is to have our qualified snipers roll with variable optics on swat rifles for certain ops where it’s deemed not necessary or practical to deploy a 20lb sniper rifle. We’re approved for dots with magnifiers but we’re trying to open up our options for personal choice

It's a suggestion. Not a hard rule and up to the department.

do you have a state magnification issue? i know tcole will only allow up to 5x without further ddm/sniper training.
