St. John's County Tactical Training Facility

The St. Johns County Training Facility provides the Sheriff’s Department with a new state-of-the art facility strictly designed to maximize effective “real world” tactical training. The new facility will be constructed of concrete masonry walls and concrete plank floors, allowing maximum flexibility and adaptability for evolving training. Additionally, the all concrete construction is necessary due to the low hydrant flows at the site. This three-story facility also includes a conference room, lobby, and secure vestibule to accommodate front of house operations. Directly adjacent to the structure, there is a high-speed track, long distance (sniper) shooting range and an indoor shooting range that creates a small campus that encompasses multiple facilities that are beneficial to first responders. Tactical training includes close quarters, battle fundamentals, breaching, barricading, family engagement, room clearing, rappelling, SWAT, bomb, K-9, decision-making targets (good guy/bad guy and shoot/no shoot), and hostage drills, as well as basic clearance procedures.
