INTRODUCTION:
The Bureau of Criminal Identification is responsible for ensuring that all concealed firearm
permit applicants receive proper training according to Utah Code Annotated § 53-5-704. The Bureau will issue, certify, and regulate all concealed firearm permit holders and instructors. It is the responsibility of every concealed firearm permit holder to learn safe handgun practices and have a practical knowledge of the laws that govern firearms and the use of force.

 

Permit holders also need to understand their personal abilities and limitations.
Concealed firearm instructors must make certain that all applicants who attend their courses receive proper in-person training within the guidelines prescribed by law. The Bureau has collected the following information to assist instructors in preparing or adding to their course outlines. This curriculum is the minimum training required by the Bureau and must be provided to all applicants who desire to obtain a Utah concealed firearm permit as required by state statute, U.C.A. § 53-5-704(10).

 

The Bureau supports instructors adding any additional firearms training and or material, including a live fire exercise. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Bureau of Criminal Identification at 801-965-4445.

consisting of a minimum of 4 hours is recommended.

  • This time frame should consist of course related material not to include extra services such as fingerprinting, photos, etc. If a certified instructor chooses to teach multi state permits, the Utah permit should be completed separately.  T
