INSTRUCTIONS: Qualified retiring or retired Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) must complete Section I of this form to request a Law
Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) Identification (ID) Card. The form must be submitted to their Organization Element Point of Contact
(POC), through their supervisory chain of command or their last Supervisory Air Marshal in Charge (SAC) of record, if already separated. The
Organization Element POC determines if the applicant is eligible to receive a LEOSA ID Card by completing Section II. If the applicant meets
the LEOSA criteria, the Organization Element POC scans the signed form and electronically forwards the completed form to the LE/FAMS
Credential Custodian. The LE/FAMS Credential Custodian must complete Section III.

I certify that I am not subject to any LEOSA disqualifiers as contained within 18 USC §§ 922(g) and (n) and the LEOSA definition of a
qualified retired law enforcement officer in 18 USC §§ 926C (c). I understand that a knowing and willful false statement on this form can be
punished by fine or imprisonment or both (18 USC § 1001.)
I understand that under the LEOSA, 18 U.S.C. §§ 926C, the LEOSA Identification Card does not confer or authorize any law enforcement
powers or authorize the cardholders to engage in any law enforcement activities or investigations.
I agree to not make a claim of any description including claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities against
TSA resulting from the authority to carry a concealed weapon.
The LEOSA Identification Card is the property of the United States Government. TSA reserves the right to repeal, revoke and/or confiscate
the card should it be damaged, altered, or used in an inappropriate manner.
If the LEOSA Identification Card is lost, stolen or damaged, it is my responsibility to report the incident to the Organization Element POC
immediately, but no later than 24 hours following the discovery.
In order to meet the requirements of LEOSA, I must qualify and meet the firearms requirements for carrying a concealed weapon for the
State in which I reside. I am responsible for all costs related to meeting these requirements.
If I experience an event which would disqualify me from receiving a firearm under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g) or (n), I will immediately notify the
Organization Element POC and the certifying entity in my State of residence.
I agree to hold TSA harmless and indemnify TSA from any resulting liability from the use, misuse, or possession of a firearm carried under
the LEOSA authority.
I understand that TSA will conduct an NCIC check at the time of my application.
I certify that I have read and understand the information provided above.
