Key Points to Remember:

• There is no cost for the permit.
• Permits cannot be issued prior to retirement.
• You must have been employed or commissioned as a full-time or reserve peace officer prior to retirement, from an Oklahoma state, county, or municipal law enforcement agency, or a federal law enforcement agency.
• The permit does not expire however eligibility to retain the permit will be reviewed every four (4) years through a state and national criminal record check by OSBI.
• The permit is only valid when in the retired officer’s possession.
• Financial statements, check stubs, etc. cannot be accepted as proof of retirement.
• Return your application with the “Statement Form Verifying Retired Peace Officer Status” completed by the appropriate retirement agency. If you did not participate in a law enforcement retirement system, you must submit a letter from the appropriate law enforcement agency verifying the dates of employment or commissioning, and the reason you did not participate in a retirement system.
• The application constitutes a sworn statement and must be notarized.
