Not yet having to been able to view either the livestream OR
the archive video, many of us are still a little in the dark on the actual happenings
at Monday’s Board of Commissioners meeting.
All reports are that the proposed plan to re-open the range to the
public is proceeding and that the proposed opening date of March 15 is still on
track. Like a lot of ranges these days,
you’ll have to watch a video, sign a waiver and get a card. More details will follow as they become
available.
The next and possibly final bureaucratic hurdle for awhile
is the Commissioners next week. It’s projected
that the necessary contracts and agreements will be agreed to and signed at
that meeting. Once all that's behind us, the work of putting the public hours and training schedules back
together again will begin in earnest. We’ll know more in the days ahead.
Good news it seems.
Although the WCFETC will be reopening to the public, hours will only be Friday evenings, all day Saturday and Sunday, and Monday evenings. What's most significant is that the WCSO is getting further access, to include Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, even though only 30% of the law enforcement time allocation is required to meet the in-service training needs of the WCSO. Furthermore, 52% of law enforcement use is for non-Wake County Agencies. This is not why the WCFETC was dedicated to the citizens of Wake County in 1999. Make no mistake about it, the WCFETC is now and Law Enforcement Training Center.
