Wake Forest Firing Range
The Wake Forest Police Department operates its own firing range. Police Lt. M. Maron shares why the range is such an important training resource for the Town’s police force. To learn more, watch the video or continue reading below.

  

 

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 range is also used by the department's Tactical Service Unit for training. The department conducts several in-service training schools such as Close Quarter Pistol and Officer Survival classes at the firing range. 

The firing range is surrounded by a security fence that is locked at all times, unless in use by department personnel.

The firing range is NOT open to the public

In 2007 the department constructed a POPAT (police officers physical abilities test) course just outside the security fence. All police officers are required to complete the POPAT twice a year.


FIRING RANGE TRAINING 
The Wake Forest Police Department regularly conducts firing range training at the police department firing range, located behind the Flaherty Park Community Center. The firing range is utilized by Wake Forest Police officers who require instruction and practice in order to obtain current certification in the use of firearms. This certification is required in order for the officer to fulfill his duties for the Wake Forest Police Department.

Residents in the area are advised that training is scheduled for the following dates and times in August 2008:
