Pennsylvania Firearm Education and Training Commission
In 1994, the County Probation and Parole Officers' Firearm Education and Training Commission (FETC) was established by Act 158 in order to provide uniform firearms training for county probation officers. The Commission is charged with educating and training county probation officers in the use of firearms. The FETC is funded through fees collected by individual Pennsylvania counties. The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole is responsible for providing support staff to the Commission.
