L.E.P.D. is built around the law enforcement community across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. But their course catalog and range setup work equally well for civilian shooters. They've got OPOTA and NRA-certified instructors on staff, plus a 35-seat classroom for serious instruction.

They host OnTarget Radio Show, live Saturdays at 12 noon on News Radio 610WTVN—a weekly deep-dive into firearms, training, and shooting culture. If you're serious about learning, that's worth tuning into.
