Yes, that would do, Patinba.

OA/OS I think the official defininition for an OA would have mentioned firearms if it had been the principal aspect of the position. It appears that there is a distinction between Police Academy graduates and University Graduate police force recruits. The problem would be how to differentiate the two. "Academy Officer/Specialist Graduate Officer"?

I found the following information in the Peruvian Official Gazette:
Oficial de Armas: Profesional egresado de la
Escuela de Oficiales de la Policía Nacional del
Perú.
22) Oficial de Servicios: Profesional egresado de una
Universidad, con título registrado en la Asamblea
Nacional de Rectores e inscrito en el Colegio
Profesional respectivo, cuando corresponda,
que se incorpora a la Policía Nacional del Perú
mediante concurso público, de acuerdo a las
necesidades institucionales.

I think it could be firearms officer
