we lost our range because of a similiar issue. In the begiing it was just the Swat team, my dept and the Postal Police on our range. The cheif at the time decided to let oher agencies use the range also. Before we new it our range was in use a solid 6months a year. People complained and cited environmnetal concerns, the even got the EPA involved. End result-our range was shut dowm and the town had to eat the bill for all the clean up etc. WE know have to travel 40 miles one way to use a range. overtime cost's have sky rocketed since our range closed.Best thing you could do is Boot the other agencies Had we done that we would still have a range.
