The Wake Forest Police Department operates it's own firing range. The range is utilized by the department for required yearly qualifications on all weapons used by officers. The department's Tactical Service Unit also uses the range for a variety of tactical training sessions. Several in-service training schools such as Close Quarters Pistol and Officer Survival classes are held at the firing range.
The firing range is surrounded by a security fence that is locked at all times, unless in use by police department personnel. The firing range is NOT open to the public.
A POPAT (Police Officer Physical Abilities Test) course is also located on the exterior perimeter of the firing range. All police officers are required to complete the POPAT twice a year.
