The department also celebrated a historic milestone with the grand opening of its new state-ofthe-art Police Training Facility.
Now fully operational, the facility provides officers with modern training resources, including an indoor firearms range, defensive tactics space, specialized classrooms and scenario-based training areas. The facility will reduce travel and overtime costs while ensuring officers have access to high-quality training right here in Port St. Lucie.
One of the most memorable moments of the grand opening came when Chief Leo Niemczyk fired the inaugural rounds on the facility ' s indoor firearms range, officially marking the range ' s first use in department history.
It was a symbolic moment that represented far more than the opening of a new building; it reflected the department ' s continued commitment to preparing its officers with the best training possible while honoring those who have built the agency over the past several decades.
As one chapter closes for those who devoted their careers to serving Port St. Lucie, another begins with a training facility that will help prepare the next generation of officers to carry that same tradition of service, professionalism and excellence for years to come.
