Offutt Implements LEOSA, Enhances Force Protection

Beginning today, qualified law enforcement officers, both active-duty and retired, are authorized to carry concealed privately-owned firearms on the installation in order to enhance existing force protection measures and potentially mitigate active-shooter or workplace violence events. The implementation of this program is not in response to any specific threat, but is a proactive force protection measure authorized by the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act of 2004 and guidance issued by Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter to implement security enhancements at Department of Defense facilities worldwide.
