Greg Ford for Wake is at Wake County Justice Center.
This
afternoon, Wake County Manager David Ellis notified Sheriff Gerald
Baker that the County will revert control of operations of the Wake
County firing range and training center back to the County. In this
afternoon’s memo, Manager Ellis assured Sheriff Baker that County staff
will work closely with the Sheriff’s Office to ensure a smooth
transition for the County-owned building. Officers will continue to have
access to the training facility in the interim for skills development.
Since the Sheriff dismissed the vendor with the contract to operate the center for the public, Wake County staff and the Board of Commissioners will review options for reinstating public access as soon as possible. The Board will review these option at an upcoming meeting early in the new year, once details are available.
The firearms facility and training center was built with taxpayer dollars by Wake County Government for its use by law-abiding gun owners and law enforcement professionals. It is a community asset and Wake County commissioners and staff will work to ensure that the facility is again made available for the community’s use as soon as possible.
