TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council N
FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager SAFE COMMUNITY
SUBJECT: Agreement to Utilize Range Privileges
for Police Department S.W.A.T. Team
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information to enter into an agreement
with Joan Bakley and Harris Bank of Woodstock for Elgin Police
Department S .W.A.T. Team training purposes .
BACKGROUND
The Elgin Police Department S .W.A.T. (Special Weapons and Tactics)
Team is designated to handle unusual occurrences and high risk
situations . Subsequently, the team needs to carry special weaponry
to handle such situations . Included in the weaponry are high
powered rifles and automatic weapons . In order to stay proficient
with these weapons, the S .W.A.T. Team trains with them (in addition
to the regular monthly training) at least quarterly. The range
inside the Elgin Police Department is an excellent training site
for handgun and some shot gun training, but is not designed to
handle most rifle caliber ammunition. In addition, the S.W.A.T.
Team needs to practice long-range shooting and moving drills which
cannot be performed in the indoor Elgin Police Department range.
In the past, the team has trained at the Fox Valley Rifle Range and
the State Police/District 2 range. However, the Fox Valley Rifle
Range has closed and the State police range is currently under-
going renovations and the range is booked after the renovations are
complete .
Subsequently, the team began looking for a new training site and
learned that the Huntley Police Department currently trains at a
gravel pit/quarry on the northeast corner of Square Barn/Huntley
Road in the unincorporated Gilberts area. The owner of the
property is Joan Bakley and Harris Bank of Woodstock as Trustee
under Trust #2464 . The owner of the property was contacted and
indicated that she would allow the Elgin Police Department to train
on the property for no charge . The area has limited access with

locked gates which would prevent people from entering the area
during training. Additionally, the area has deep quarries and
large berms which make it a very safe environment for shooting
rifles and other firearms . There is no record of any firearms
related accidents at the proposed site .
Furthermore, the S .W.A.T. Team has several very experienced,
certified range officers who take many safety precautions during
training. During the thousands of hours of training done by the
S .W.A.T. Team, there has never been a firearms-related accident .
However, the owner of the property would like to have some type of
waiver prepared to limit her liability in the unlikely chance that
an accident occurred.
The S .W.A.T. officers are scheduled for training during normal duty
time and this includes any travel time to a site outside the city
limits .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
rft. None .
Vik-FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no costs to use this site nor it is anticipated that
costs will occur in the future .
L AL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
Continue looking for a new training site.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the members of the City Council authorize an
agreement for the use of the site located at Huntley and Square
Barn Roads for Elgin Police Department S .W.A.T. Team firearms
training purposes .
