The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a requirement for a firearms range to conduct mandatory quarterly qualifications and other firearms training.

The range time must be available exclusively to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the hours indicated below. The range must be closed to the public during the corresponding hours and the hours for use should be scheduled. The range should be indoor, must possess a minimum of 20 firing points, and must be able to accommodate a qualification course distance minimum of 1.5 yards and a maximum of 25 yards. The range shall provide barricades, or allow the storage of 20 agency provided barricades. The range shall possess adequate exterior lighting in both public and work areas.

The range rules cannot disallow a student from moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present, (i.e. tactical move and shoot type drills where instructor/student ratio would be too restrictive).
