During recent firearms training in Medina, an officer is injured by flying debris while observing a demonstration with new handguns.

In response to the incident, the Medina Police Department implements new safety measures designed to prevent similar occurrences in the future. These include strict instructor-to-trainee ratios during live fire training and mandated safe distances for shooting at metal targets. This proactive step underscores the department’s commitment to training safety and learning from potentially hazardous situations.
