The Downers Grove Police department operates its own firearms range in the lower level of the police department.
Officers use the range to qualify with their handguns for both on duty and off duty use.
The range however cannot handle high-powered rifles or shot gun slug. The range contains five booths that can move targets down range to approximately 75feet. There is also a control booth where highly trained range officers can give directions to officers on the range, maintain range safety and note any deficiencies officers may have when shooting. The police department range contains a cleaning room to clean guns as well as a room for light armory work. The qualification is the same used by the Illinois State Police.
