Montgomery City Council approves $10K firearms range contract

Montgomery City Council approved an agreement Aug. 26 for the police department’s use of a firearms training range for $10,000 with Valhalla Trust.

The gist

According to agenda documents, the $10,000 annual contract—funded through the Montgomery Crime Control and Prevention District—provides law enforcement officers with access to a designated facility for required training and certification.

Police Chief Anthony Solomon said the department previously used a range in Tomball, but distance restricted officers to about one training day per year. Solomon said department requirements call for six range days annually.

“This agreement allows us to do our six range days,” Solomon said. “Right now, we can’t do those six range days.”

Solomon said the department is exploring building its own range in 2027-28, with a projected cost of about $360,000.
