North Metro Regional Public Safety Training Facility

Today’s law enforcement professionals are highly trained and highly skilled. They must continue to develop specialized knowledge and training that enables fair and procedurally just policing to meet a wide variety of new challenges and expectations. The North Metro Range Regional Public Safety Training Facility’s mission began in 1992 when the City of Maple Grove, and Hennepin County joined forces to build a firearms training facility and supportive classroom training spaces. However, after nearly 30 years, the facility was dated and lacked the capacity and accommodations for modern law enforcement training. LEO A DALY led an effort to complete the Minnesota predesign effort and associated activities required to prepare the project for support from the state. The NMR addition and renovation include additional space for de-escalation and crisis intervention training, simulated ammunition space for a realistic scenario-based training environment, dedicated space for a state-of-the-art-decision-making simulation lab, increased firearms training lanes, and office space to accommodate the nearly 20 regional public safety organizations and future customer organizations that utilize the NMR facility.
