St. Johns County and the Sheriff's Office highlighted a new Tactical Training Facility (TTF) intended to provide local deputies and regional partners with a consolidated training site.
A Sheriff's Office representative described the TTF as “a concrete building…with over 15,000 square foot of training space,” noting features that include a rappel tower, a long-gun range configured for multi-story shooting scenarios, and a driving track configured to support vehicle-pursuit training. The site, opened in March 2025, was presented as a “one-stop shop” for close-quarters combat, driving exercises and multi-agency exercises with city police, state and federal partners.
Officials said the facility will serve newly graduated deputies, specialized teams and regional partners who can train together on realistic scenarios without leaving the county. Presenters framed the TTF as an investment in public safety and regional collaboration; no policy changes, new legislation or budget votes were announced at the presentation.
County and Sheriff’s Office speakers also emphasized awards and recognition that reflect local public-safety performance, and they thanked county leadership for support in delivering the facility.
