Justification Forms are required for agencies seeking to obtain weapons. A LESO LEA Weapons Request form is required for all weapons requests. A Weapons Request/Justification Form-Automatic Weapons is required for Automatic Weapons and a Weapons Request/Justification Form-Non-Automatic Weapons is required for Non-Automatic Weapons. These forms must be mailed or e-mailed to the State Coordinator for review and approval. Please refer to the State Plan of Operation Section 6.4 for comprehensive guidelines.
