OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
The Need for the Project
❑Current facilities and site are not sustainable.
❑Each flooding disrupts training schedule.and results in financial costs. Estimated average
cost per flood event $30,000; highest $400,000
❑Flooding events have increased in numberand intensity.
❑ Training needs for Troopers continue to change
31
![Page 32: STATE POLICE TRAINING FACILITY RELOCATION PROJECT CEPA ... · 6/5/2018 · Financial Losses Due to Tropical Storm Irene (2011) Ammunition: Damaged and rendered unusable - $28,000](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070823/5f31c230db63cb2bb06506f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
The Need for the Project (continued)
Some examples of the negative effects on Trooper Firearms
training due to flooding:
❑ Last minute cancellations of training result
in disrupted certification schedules.
❑ Extended delays between training sessions.
❑ Reduced rifle and pistol training programs in
order to compensate for the lost time.
ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE TRAINING
LEVEL OF TROOPERS ACROSS THE STATE.
