New OPD Training Center Highlights

The new OPD training facility has three ranges to assist in the training and preparation of its officers.

Tactical Range

The tactical range is designed to accommodate reactive style training. It has 144 computer-controlled targets that run, turn, pop-up and drop out of the ceiling. This range forces officers to perform in real life positions and lighting conditions and react to the target by evaluating whether it is a threat.

 

 

Qualification Range

The qualification range is designed to give officers experience with vehicles and traffic stops because a large percentage of officer shootings are during routine traffic stops.
The qualification range is a large, open bay that allows 20 officers to shoot at once and is equipped with 20 computerized turning targets as well as running targets.

 

Rifle Range

The rifle range is designed to train officers on shoulder weapons at greater distances. This range will be used by the SWAT team as well as for officers carrying patrol rifles. The rifle range is equipped with 60 computerized targets as well as running targets allowing reactive scenarios.
