The Police Chief or his designee may authorize the use of the Township Police Firing Range by other law enforcement or police agencies or departments in accord with the following terms and regulations.
Any agency or department requesting to use the range shall annually file an application with an annual fee as provided in Chapter 240, Fees. The application shall include a certification executed by the agency responsible official that the agency shall indemnify and hold harmless the Township and its officials and employees from any liability arising out of the agency's utilization of the range. Upon approval by the Chief, the agency may utilize the range, subject to the Chief's discretion and the range's availability, for not more than 10 days of use during that year. Requests for each use shall be made at least three business days prior to the date proposed, and prior to each use the agency, through its authorized official, will submit an executed "Permit for Range Use" with a daily usage fee as provided in Chapter 240, Fees. Each permit must be approved by the Chief or designee, and may be denied or rejected in their discretion for any reason.
