The Calgary Police Commission is proposing to use money earmarked for community crisis and mental-health groups to fund a new firearms range, unless the city offers up more in its budget.
The police service says its training range is two decades old and needs replacing because it's unsafe and is impacting its recruitment and hiring of new officers.
The need for a new facility doesn't seem to be a point of contention at city hall, but how to pay for it is. The department wants to use most of that money to increase the number of crew members on its aerial trucks to improve responses to high-rise fires, especially in the downtown core.
