"NRA’s relationship with the nations law enforcement community is an enduring one, reaching back through generations of lawmen and women," Glen Hoyer, Director of NRA Law Enforcement Activities Division, told NRAblog. "NRA Law Enforcement Firearm Instructor Training has trained well over 50,000 firearm instructors since 1960. Many branches of the U.S. Military also attend this training in addition to the countries law enforcement officers."

The Law Enforcement Activities Division celebrates the 50th anniversary of its training department this year. The badge, pictured above, honors this accomplishment.
