Deputies test on range, obstacle course

Santa Rosa Sheriff's deputies were recently put to the test on the department's gun range and obstacle course.

The annual training brought certified deputies out on a rare warm March day to test their accuracy – and stamina. Anyone who carries a gun for the department has to qualify using the gun or guns they carry on-duty.

In addition, a timed obstacle course includes going over walls, balancing on a beam, dragging a 150- pound weight, completing an armed door entry and other challenges.
