1. PURPOSE. As directed by DODI 5525.15 Law Enforcement (LE) Standards and Training in
the DoD, Guideline 1, this AFJQS identifies the minimum training requirements to become a
certified law enforcement officer and be awarded Special Experience Identifier (SEI) L3/3LE.
This AFJQS must be utilized at all installations with law enforcement missions and serves as a
roadmap to develop the Law Enforcement Master Training Plan (MTP) and Individual Training
Plan (ITP). This AFJQS applies to military and civilian Airmen and Guardians assigned to
perform duties as law enforcement Patrol, Trainers, and Program Managers/Planners and may be
supplemented to capture unique requirements not common across the Total Force. This AFJQS
will remain in effect until superseded or rescinded.
2. TASK QUALIFICATION. Personnel will be qualified to the GO/NO GO standard on this
AFJQS. GO means the individual can perform the task without assistance utilizing appropriate
instructions or other procedural guidance. Initial training for items in Part II marked with a
single asterisk “*” in the critical column of the AFJQS must be received through in-residence
training at a DoD POST accredited training program. Limited exceptions to the in-residence
requirements are controlled by Air Force Security Forces Center (AFSFC) S3T and only
available through distance learning. Annual and in-service training listed in Part II of this AFJQS
must be taught by certified law enforcement instructors and may be delivered through on-the-job
training, in-residence, distance learning (DL), or web-based courses. A task qualified
supervisor/trainer/certifier from that respective functional area must document training and
certification for a person to be considered trained and certified on a task. To be awarded the
Special Experience Identifier of L3/3LE Airmen and Guardians must be trained and certified on
all DODI 5525.15 Guideline 1 requirements identified with a single asterisk “*” in the critical
task column of the AFJQS Part II. Finally, when conducting their training needs analysis,
commanders should consider whether supporting response personnel require additional training
the following tasks.
