Klamath Falls, Oregon – A spring gathering focused on readiness and community connection is set to take place in Klamath County, as local authorities prepare for the 2026 LEOSA qualification event. Scheduled for Friday, April 10, the session will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Klamath Falls Police Department Range, offering a structured opportunity for eligible participants to complete required firearms qualifications.
The event is specifically open to Klamath County residents who are retired law enforcement officers and meet the criteria outlined under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act. For many, the qualification is more than a routine requirement—it serves as a continuation of a professional standard shaped over years of service, now carried forward into retirement.
Organized by the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office, the day is expected to follow a clear and efficient flow, allowing participants to complete their qualifications while reconnecting with familiar faces. The setting provides a controlled environment where safety and precision remain central, reflecting the same principles that guided attendees throughout their careers.
Beyond the formal portion of the event, organizers are adding a more relaxed element to the day. Participants are invited to remain on-site after completing their qualification to spend time with the Sheriff and fellow retirees. A casual barbecue gathering will offer space for conversation, shared experiences, and a sense of continued camaraderie among those who once served side by side.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to register in advance or request additional details by reaching out to KCSO Sergeant West Packer via email at [email protected].
