The
Signal Hill Police Department's shooting range, originally built in 1968,
was closed in 1990 due to asbestos contamination. In 1999, the City
obtained a $100,000 Asbestos Abatement Grant from the State of California
to rebuild the tactical shooting range.After the
removal of the asbestos, a new bullet trap was installed. The bullet
trap is composed of a rubber-like material that can stop up to a .50 caliber
bullet. The walls were covered with the same material and will deflect
a bullet in case of an unintentional discharge. Acoustic tiles were
installed to reduce noise, and the air ventilation system was upgraded. The electronic targeting system, Range-Tec, was then installed. Range-Tec is a computerized target system that rotates and moves the targets down range. The computer also has a sound system that can be programmed to copy and reproduce any recorded sound. A police car light bar was also added to make the scenarios more realistic. The range has a specially designed lighting system that can simulate lighting conditions from daylight to total darkness.
The firearm range is for tactical training and is not open to the public. |
