Police must comply with Range Standing Orders. The End.

Which is why in years gone by the Police have been kicked off NZDF ranges....for not complying with Range Standing Orders.

I am surprised that any range is now permitting Police to use their facilities. With the amount of grief they have delivered to the firearms community, I would think that it was high time they (the organisation, not the individual members) were encumbered with having to build and maintain their own facilities.
