Public Safety Training Center (PSTC)

History

The Public Safety Training Center (PSTC) a 22,300 sq. foot facility was completed in 1998 in memory of the late James T. Brouillette. His vision was to develop a regional firearms training facility for law enforcement agencies and shooting sports enthusiasts.

In 2004, Clackamas County took over ownership of the PSTC. The PSTC provides a state of the art indoor firing range open for both law enforcement agencies and the public. The PSTC offers public fingerprinting services (by appointment only) and the Sheriff's Office Concealed Handgun Licensing Program.
