               standard of deploying cartridges. Regarding weapons, officers practiced transition

               Many small improvements were made throughout 2022 including range clean up,

               target repair, enhanced berm structure, reconfigured office space and added security

               Rhode Island that requires continual maintenance and improvement.  In addition to


               the Cranston Police, the Rhode Island Municipal Police Academy and a small number

               of outside police agencies use the facility on a consistent basis.  Throughout the year,

               the Training staff remained conscience of the nearby neighborhoods and attempted to

               improve upon noise reduction by limiting range hours, regulating the types of weapons

               used and remaining within approved decibel levels.
