Standard 0112.03 (Revision A),
Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers
(https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/

12-Gauge Shotguns for Police Use
(https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/
photocopy/244968NCJRS.pdf), and to
develop a new minimum performance
standard for patrol rifles.
NIJ develops and publishes voluntary
equipment standards that specifically
address the needs of law enforcement,
corrections, and other criminal justice
agencies to ensure that equipment is
safe, reliable, and performs according to
established minimum performance
requirements. NIJ standards are
consensus-based and designed to
articulate the criminal justice end user
community’s operational requirements
regarding equipment performance. They
are designed to provide a level of
confidence in a product’s fitness for
purpose and allow comparison of
products based on standardized test
methods. NIJ maintains active standards
for a variety of equipment, including
ballistic-resistant body armor, stabresistant body armor, restraints, bomb
suits, CBRN protective ensembles, and
offender tracking systems. More
information on NIJ standards is
available at https://www.nij.gov/
standards.
NIJ anticipates the STC for Law
Enforcement Firearms will be
comprised of approximately 25
individual firearms subject matter
experts from federal, state, and local law
enforcement agencies; ballistics test
laboratories; firearms industry
associations; and other relevant
technical or governmental
organizations. Individuals will be
selected to achieve the best possible
balance of knowledge and expertise.
Due to the practitioner-driven nature of
the standards and limited size of the
STC, only firearms industry associations
will be permitted to participate directly
on the STC to represent the firearms
manufacturing community.
Submitted materials must clearly
demonstrate the applicant’s
qualifications to serve on the STC. Law
enforcement practitioners must be
active sworn personnel, should have
experience with all three types of
firearms—pistols, shotguns, and rifles—
and should have specialized firearms
responsibilities in his or her respective
agency that would especially qualify
him or her to serve on the STC, such as
armorer, firearms instructor, range
master, or special operations.
Individuals operating at all levels of a
law enforcement agency are encouraged
to apply, however individuals at the
level of sergeant and above are
