Port Townsend Police Department conducting nighttime firearms training
The Port Townsend Police Department will be conducting nighttime firearms training next week at the
Jefferson County Sportsmen's Association. The training will be conducted Monday, January 7, from 5 p.m. to 9
p.m. The training is open to department personnel only.
FBI statistics show a majority of officer-involved shooting incidents occur during hours of darkness. To
improve officer survivability of these situations low-light training is mandated. This training typically occurs
during the winter months because the sun sets earlier.
This notice is meant to advise residents in the area of the gun club off South Jacob Miller Road of the training
occurring outside normal operating hours for the facility. Any questions or concerns about the training should
be directed to Sgt. Joe Kaare at 360-385-2322.
