********** Law Enforcement Training **********
RCWA has annual contracts with some of the local law enforcement groups to provide range facilities for staff training. They currently have contracts with Rowan County Sheriffs Department and the Cleveland Police Department.
Due to special requirements for law enforcement training, Range 5 and the Rifle Range will be closed to RCWA members at specific times when law enforcement training is occurring. Please stay away from these range facilities when they are in use by law enforcement.
The law enforcement training schedule will be posted at the Rifle Range, on Range 5 as well as under this topic as they are made available to RCWA.
