New Safety Complex and Gun Range Coming to Colerain Township

Hamilton County is taking a significant step towards enhancing public safety and community well-being with the construction of a new safety complex and gun range in Colerain Township. This initiative aims to replace the long-standing Cincinnati police gun range in Evendale, which has been in operation for 80 years.

The decision to relocate the gun range comes in response to ongoing concerns from residents in nearby Lincoln Heights, who have expressed their frustrations over the noise generated by gunfire. Councilman Daronce Daniels has been a vocal advocate for the community, emphasizing the need for change and encouraging residents to stay engaged in the process.

The new complex will not only provide a more suitable and quieter environment for firearms training but will also house the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office alongside the Cincinnati Police Department’s gun ranges. This centralized location is designed to improve efficiency and safety for law enforcement training, while minimizing disruptions to nearby communities.

Councilman Daniels urges residents to participate in the development process, highlighting the importance of community involvement in fostering positive changes. “Together, we can create a space that respects both our law enforcement needs and the peace of our neighborhoods,” he stated.

As the project moves forward, it promises to bring a safer, more effective training environment for police while addressing the concerns of residents in Lincoln Heights. The new safety complex is not just a facility; it represents a commitment to listening to the community and making informed decisions that benefit everyone.
