August 21, 2024,
Per the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission’s unanimous vote:
The SSGT 40-hour Handgun Instructor Course now qualifies eligible attendees who successfully complete the course as APOSTC Firearms Instructors within the State of Alabama. We are honored to have this unique designation alongside the FBI, FLETC and NRA Firearms Instructor Courses. We will continue our 25-plus year dedication to excellence in criminal justice defensive tactics training and work diligently to elevate criminal justice firearms training here in Alabama and elsewhere. We would like to thank our instructors, officers in the field and agencies for your trust and continued support.
Sincerely,
Johnny Lee Smith and Jack Nevils

SSGT teams up with U.S. LawShield
SSGT has partnered with U.S. Law Shield to provide much needed liability coverage to our Criminal Justice Family. Please check them out!
As a criminal justice officer, you are not likely to be covered by PBA or FOP if you are involved in an off-duty use-of-force event. Don’t go without coverage. Rely on the company we trust to provide the legal services protection you need both on and off-duty.
Compare USLS to USCCA
1. LEO’s and Security. USCCA does not cover on-duty law enforcement or security guards. U.S. LawShield does.
2. Civil Protection. USCCA caps out their civil defense coverage at 2 million. USLS has no cap.
3. Hotline. USCCA does NOT have an attorney answered hotline. Their hotline is answered by a “critical response team” in their corporate office. When a USLS member calls our hotline, they are immediately connected to their USLS program attorney. This ensures that their statements are protected by Attorney Client Privilege and cannot be used against them.
4. Price. The bottom tier USCCA “Gold” membership is $29 per month. And it goes up to $49 for their elite membership. USLS is only $10.95 per month for the core plan, and we allow our members to pick and choose which additional coverages they want or need.
5. Repayment. The USCCA has a clause within their member agreement that allows them the opportunity to recoup funds from their members in certain situations. Specifically, if they determine that coverage was given when it shouldn’t have been. This means that at their discretion, they can demand repayment of the attorney fees for which they have paid. USLS does not have anything like that in our verbiage. There is no scenario where we will ever demand repayment from a member. Ever!
