(1) In order to maintain his or her certification as a peace officer, each certified peace

officer shall annually meet the marksmanship qualification requirement for a retired

peace officer as specified in KRS 237.140. Each law enforcement agency or other

employing agency whose officers are required to meet the requirements of this

subsection shall retain a record of each of its officers having met the annual

marksmanship qualification. These records shall be made available upon request to

the Kentucky Law Enfo rcement Council and to the Justice and Public Safety

Cabinet in order to carry out its responsibilities under KRS 15.330 and 15.450.

(2) Any law enforcement or other agency employing a certified peace officer may

require the certified peace officer to meet a marksmanship qualification requirement

which is in excess of that specified in KRS 237.140. Failure of a certified peace

officer to meet the increased marksmanship qualification requirement specified by

his or her employing or appointing agency shall no t affect the certification of the

officer, but may subject the officer to discipline by the agency, including suspension

or dismissal of the officer from the agency.
