Perfecting marksmanship: Sandia/California Security Police Officers
Training trumps everything, and Security Police Officers (SPO) at Sandia/California continue to far exceed the minimum standard of required training. Pablo Maurino, the lead training instructor for the site, says the Protective Force conducts training throughout the year and officers participate in live fire training eight to 10 times a year. Firearms training is typically an eight-hour day; however, SPOs may also receive live fire training on the range in shorter durations while on shift as scheduling permits. Each SPO has to qualify semi-annually with a duty-issued Glock 9mm and the H&K 416 rifle.
