"Did you know that 22% of police officer injuries happen during their department's training" -League of MN Cities
Officer injuries during use of force training continue to increase, often caused by poor training environments with little to no padded protection. Consider using a training center designed with safety in mind, featuring fully padded mats room with wall and floor coverage.

POLICE training 

12 LANE SHOOTING RANGE

Featuring nearly 198,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor training space available. Our facility is one of the largest public safety training center's in the state of MN.
 
Effective 2/22/23 we have a slight rate increase for any reservations after 7/1/2023. The areas affected are the shooting range(s), classroom C and the RBT Indoor and Outdoor areas. This rate increase was necessary to offset the significant increase in operating costs for the mechanical, utilities and maintenance expenses due to inflation. We carefully evaluate our fees and work to keep them low. We will honor any users that have already booked space for 7/1/23 and beyond, prior to 2/22/23.  Any user that wishes to book training space after 7/1/23 moving forward will see the rate increase applied.  

NOTE FOR ALL NON-TIER/NON-CONTRACTED AGENCIES: Any training before or after normal business hours (12 am to 8 am or 5pm to 11:59 pm) will require a $30 per hour ADD-ON fee for a staff member to be onsite during your training.  Normal business hours are 0800-1700 hours, Monday thru Friday)
