Can recruits on light duty participate in firearms training?

Recruits on light duty typically have physical limitations that may affect their ability to safely and effectively participate in firearms training. Firearms training often demands a high level of physical fitness, coordination, and mental acuity, which may be compromised if a recruit is under restrictions due to an injury or other health issues.

The policies related to firearms training generally prioritize safety and the capability to perform necessary skills without risk to oneself or others. Therefore, recruits in a light duty status, who may not be fully capable of handling firearms training due to their condition, are usually prohibited from participating in such activities to ensure their safety and maintain the integrity of the training environment. This aligns with standard practices in law enforcement training where the well-being of recruits is a paramount consideration.
