PPS (Handgun) Firearms Trainers and BLET (not necessarily In-Service) Specialized Instructor(s) Firearms
September 30, 2022: After MONTHS ( began May 11, 2022 ) of very difficult or no communications from PPSB and a 50-60 hour week of “going around in circles” with NCJA (East / Salemburg) and both sets of Administrative Codes (Sheriffs and CJ) the following documents have been “received”, found and downloaded, or created (re-created, updated and edited) by Dean Wiley. More ‘History’, background notes, and other information after the ‘important’ documents (and at a later date).
Course Of Fire (COF) “Pages” received from PPSB Director Paul Sherwin on September 13, 2022 at 8:07am (0807 hours):
PPSB_Handgun_Courses_Of_Fire_09132022_from_Director_PS
Dean Wiley’s “RSO/Trainer Cheat Sheets” (Handgun Day and Night COFs) last updated 09/29/22 to ‘match*’ the Official COFs above as well as address target size and scoring:
NCPPS_50_Qualification_DAY_RSOSheet
NCPPS_50_Qualification_NIGHT_RSOSheet
* Official PPSB says “should” regarding flashlight off during reload at night, “Sheets” say “MUST”. “Sheets” do not address BLET “optional during last two rounds (support hand)” after the reload at night.
* Speed load five magazines for semi-automatics day and night: 12-8-12-12-6

2019 “In Service Firearms Qualification Training Manual” downloaded from NCDOJ / NCJA “files” area(s) found via the NCJA web pages (“BLET” COFs do not mention the flashlight during shooting or “in between strings” – only “MUST be off during the reload”) (Downloaded September 16, 2022):

** Additional Information, Background, Notes, History SOON **
September 30, 2022: “Official” PPS(B) COFs not published at DPS/PPSB sites/pages.
10th Edition PPSB Firearms Training Manual “STUDENT” ( Copyright 2022 ) from NCJA has leap-frogged backwards to 2016-2017 ‘era’ COFs that, like the 2019 In Service Manual, do not mention the flashlight other than must be off during reload.
Shotgun
March 24, 2023: The Copyright (c) 2023 version of the “only available at the Long-Gun Trainer Certification Course” book has a new/different way of scoring shotgun slugs. The “Firearms Training – Student Manual” (handgun and shotgun) latest version from the NCJA Bookstore still has it the “old” (wrong) way.
The “Course” (that includes the course[s] of fire) must be approved by the Board (PPSB) and the Secretary of Public Safety. The problem that “we” (74-C regulated entities) have always had since the invention of PPSB: The Board and the Secretary DO NOT PUBLISH what the approved course[s] is [or are]. Since “RSJ” wrote the newest book and is on the Board: “We do it his way and should – or probably have to – ‘take his word for it’.”
