RCPD Firearms Range Nears Completion
The Riley County Law Board heard Monday that the RCPD’s Firearms Range near Zeandale is nearing full operational status.
Captain Brad Jager told the board that officers have already been using the site while improvements were being made, including a training session while the board meeting was taking place.
The new range sits on nearly 150 acres purchased two years ago by the county. It’s adjacent to the former RCPD range near the intersection of Zeandale and Tabor Valley roads.
The Law Board was to take up the department’s budget for the next fiscal year during the meeting. Following an executive session, the board delayed that discussion until a special meeting later this month.
Jager promoted to captain as RCPD director announces staffing shakeup
The Riley County Police Department has had to make some shifts to staffing.
Dennis Butler, RCPD Director, says at the beginning of February, Investigation Division Commander and 26-year veteran, Captain Tim Hegarty retired, leaving big shoes to fill at the department.
“I can tell you that he (Tim Hegarty) is a very talented man, highly educated, very smart guy,” Butler says. “He did a lot for this agency during his tenure here in many, many ways. I’m sorry to see him go, but he has talents that he can use as a consultant, and really use in any way he wants.”
