By: 818 Group “Officer Staskiewicz has done an incredible job in with the Omaha Police Department (http://opd.ci.omaha.ne.us/) For the past ten years, Officer Staskiewicz has been the Omaha Police Department’s range master. During that time, he has overseen the closing of the department’s 30-year-old indoor range and was instrumental in the opening of the new Public Safety Training Center ranges four years ago. The new center includes a firearms simulator room, rooms for weapon, ammo and target storage, a room with 20 stations for weapon cleaning and two indoor shooting ranges equipped by Action Target with advanced tactical training technology. “Coordinating the fair use of all three ranges can keep you busy, but these facilities are an incredible training tool,” Staskiewicz said. “We have up to 25 local and federal agencies that train on one of our ranges throughout the year.” According to Staskiewicz, the last thing a police officer wants to do is discharge his or her firearm, but training for those occasions where force is necessary is extremely important. “Shooting is a perishable skill that needs to be practiced on a regular basis”, Staskiewicz said. “It’s extremely important to train our officers under similar conditions, especially elevated heart rate shooting. It’s our job to prepare our officers to react to a situation so they can go home to their family at night.” In addition to running his agencies three ranges, Staskiewicz oversees the firearms curriculum for his 800 officer department. He has always been willing to share his lesson plans and training tips with other agencies and trainers over the years. Some drills they conduct on the indoor tactical range include split-second threat identification, accuracy and speed training, as well as ambush drills in a patrol car with the windshield removed, drop targets and flashing lights to add to the stress. “Along with providing commons sense firearms training, our goal is to provide a safe training environment,” About Action Target Inc.
