In fact, Feds can NOT be qualified by a MA SP LEOSA Certified Instructor!
That is not true, at least it isn't true for everybody, or it wasn't a few years ago. I think it changed in 2010 with the signing of S.1132 which ammended the LEOSA.
Former 1811 here (FAM) and I am certified by the MSP as a LEOSA Certified Instructor. I also got a LTCA from my local chief for shits and giggles with only my FLETC certs.
To the OP, I would talk to your local chief. It can be worked out in most cases.
