To whom must certified individuals report changes in status, such as a disqualifying event?

Certified individuals under the Lethal Weapons Training Act (Act 235) are required to report significant changes in their status, such as disqualifying events, to the Pennsylvania State Police or the relevant licensing agency. This requirement is in place to ensure that law enforcement and regulatory bodies are kept up-to-date with the status of individuals who have been granted the authority to carry lethal weapons. Reporting to these agencies helps maintain public safety and ensures compliance with state laws.

While other entities such as local law enforcement or employers may be informed in some circumstances, the formal and legally mandated responsibility lies specifically with the Pennsylvania State Police or the corresponding licensing agency. These agencies are tasked with oversight and regulation of certification, making them the appropriate contacts for reporting any changes in an individual's status that might affect their certification.
