When Boston Police Officers embark upon the career advancement challenge of preparing for the Promotional Examination, they know all too well the enormous amount of study time required and the gargantuan volume of information that must be learned and understood in order to score well.
Like any other industry, law enforcement advancement is a highly competitive experience requiring new and innovative approaches to learning a wide variety of topical rules, regulations and laws in the most efficient and effective manner possible.
When it comes to a tactical approach to study innovation, the Boston Police Promotional Exam Study Group featured in this article is deploying just that. One of several innovative approaches implemented by this BPD study group included inviting me, Charles Hollins, Owner of MAGPRO INC Firearm Safety Training, to present on the study section that deals with Firearm Laws. I have ten years experience teaching firearm safety and have assisted over 1,500 people within the last 12-months in meeting the basic firearm safety requirement to apply for a License-to-Carry or Firearm ID Card. In addition, I have written two of the twenty-three Basic Firearm Safety Course Curriculums endorsed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, LTC016 and LTC023. It was an honor to facilitate a session on firearm laws for this group of dedicated, experienced, veteran officers. Whenever I conduct training on state and/or federal firearm laws, I seek to be helpful in translating the often convoluted and complex statutes into clear and digestible plain language. In addition, the study group had several opportunities to discuss practical applications when encountering a civilian who is a lawful gun owner and to hear a civilian’s perspective of the firearm licensing process, gun-laws and enforcement in the Commonwealth.
I couldn’t be more proud of our men and women in uniform who not only have devoted their careers to public safety but, who strive so diligently for professional advancement.
It is my privilege and commitment to support law enforcement in the difficult and often dangerous work that they perform everyday.
Good luck on the Promotional Exam.
Best,
Charles Hollins
