Tactical Training Centre
Cheshire Constabulary’s Tactical Training Centre (TTC) is a purpose built facility for the training of a wide range of disciplines including public order and firearms. The TTC covers an area of 5445 square metres and can be adapted for many different training purposes.
There are only three centres of this kind in the country and only two are available for hire, one of those being the Cheshire facility. The TTC is the only facility of this kind in the country that offers full vehicle access to the arena for training scenarios and a firearms range that has the state of the art ventilation system with a 100m range.
