My first gun club prohibited members from being present while police were using the range. It's frowned upon at the other clubs I've joined over the years. That way they only shoot each other . . . and in my years as a PO I saw lots of unsafe gun handling go without correction.
Sad truth is that if this was done at a gun club, it will likely be sued. Police are basically never liable for actions on the job with very rare exception although they may choose to pay off rather than incur the publicity.
My club lets a couple PDs use the ranges a few times a year. We can watch if we want, but for the most part it’s just people shooting at silhouettes. We also have a range officer present because of some carelessness and we only allow them to set targets where they impact the berms since they liked to shoot in any direction they felt like. They were shooting towards other ranges on the property so we put a stop to it.
