Since July 2018, Colonel Ciro Stefano has been providing strategic leadership guidance to the adjutant general of the New York National Guard in his role as a senior army advisor. In addition to being a Lifetime Member of the 82nd Airborne Division, Colonel Ciro Stefano is also a Patriot Lifetime member of the National Rifle Association of America (NRA).
With over five million members, the NRA is a civil rights organization that teaches firearm safety and competency. In 1960, the NRA instituted a Law Enforcement Division to provide training and certification to the law enforcement and military communities, and well as those in charge of security. Law enforcement officers who undergo NRA training gain access to program materials including training kits, gear, and recreational and shooting materials, among others.
In addition to providing training and certification, the NRA organizes events, such as the Police Pistol Combat and Tactical Police Competition, which is open to law enforcement officers from the U.S. military and the public and private sectors. Once a year, the NRA also opens its doors to law enforcement members from around the world as it hosts the National Police Shooting Championships.
