The Ridgecrest Police Department and the Sage Shooting Range received a grant from the Friends of the NRA (FNRA) and the NRA Foundation for use-of-force training. 

The police department and shooting range received a $15,132.50 grant to purchase equipment for "Force Options Training Enhancement." The equipment will include four Elite Target Systems TAC II Two-Stage Turning Target Systems, a shipping container for storage of the systems, a solar power system to charge the systems, lighting for nighttime use, as well as grading and concrete for further development of Sage Shooting Range.
