The instructors that appear on the following pages have all met the requirements of the state of Washington to
provide the 8-hour initial armed certification training and qualifications as certified firearms instructors for Private
Security, Private Investigators, and Bail Bond Recovery Agents pursuant to RCW and WAC. Instructors with the
correct credentials and program issued photo ID are titled “Private Security Certified Firearms Instructors” pursuant
to WAC 139-37.
Instructors that do not comply with program policies and WAC can be removed from the program at any time.
Written complaints regarding instructors are to be sent via email to [email protected]. All complaints received
will be reviewed.

Instructors as not a required part of RCW or WAC.
Note: Some law enforcement and other PS Certified Firearms Instructors may not be found on this list for privacy
reasons. Please contact the WSCJTC via email at [email protected] to verify if the instructor is a valid PS
