Firearms Range
The department is very proud of our dedication to
firearms proficiency and of our range facilities. The
department has state certified firearms instructors/range
officers assigned to each of the three platoons.
Our officers carry Sig Sauer P226 .40 caliber pistols as
their duty sidearm and must qualify with these weapons
quarterly. Additionally, each patrol car is equipped with a
patrol rifle and all officers must qualify yearly with these
weapons.
We now allow residents to use our range facilities to
shoot their private firearms. You will need to supply your
own ammunition and we require lead free frangible
ammunition. This can be purchased at your local gun shop.
Residents wishing to use the range facilities must make
arrangements ahead of time with one of our range officers.
Please call (248)644-4200 and ask to speak with a range
officer to set up your appointment.
We take firearms safety very seriously. Weapons should be
kept out of reach of children and unloaded when not in use.
The department provides free child safety gun locks to any
resident needing one. If you are interested in a gun lock,
please stop by the front desk at the station.
