Police 'management' are the reason for that decision. All Police training deemed to be performed on one specific designated range for the BOP region. The local police from Tga think it sucks and is a waste of their time travelling, but thats the way it is.

When we were setting up the ranges we offered to accomodate the local Police with a designated range for general staff training, then the option to use the 300m range occasionally if required for the AOS guys. Local guy who was in charge of training at the time was keen as, and for a few years while the TECT Park ranges were in the planning stages we were in occasional contact with them. But in the end upper management decided to do their own thing and essentially annexed the Rotorua range for their own use during the week, which was just before the tect park opened. That's the way it has stayed since.
