Norman, Olkahoma Police Honor Pete Brownell for Contributions to Shooting Facility

Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells Inc. (left), receives a plaque of appreciation from Norman (Okla.) Police Chief Keith L. Humphrey on Tuesday at the Royce O. Whettle Norman Police Department Training Facility.

NORMAN, OK – In an era of ongoing budget cuts and reduced city revenues, local police departments and other agencies are often asked to do more and more with less and less. These budget shortfalls can result in a range of consequences, including a lack of adequate training opportunities. Through an infusion of resources from the private sector in the form of a generous donation from a firearms industry leader, the Norman Police Department and personnel from 20 different local, state and federal agencies will now benefit from enhanced targeting systems on the shooting range.

This spring, Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells Inc., received word from Gary Giudice, president and founder of Norman-based Blue Heron Communications, that the shooting target systems at the Royce O. Whettle Norman Police Department Training Facility were in desperate need of an upgrade. Brownell responded in kind, working with Giudice to coordinate a donation of more than $30,000 in advanced targeting systems that will be utilized by SWAT Teams, snipers and other law enforcement officers.

Beth currently teaches college-level English, speech and critical thinking classes. She is a wife and mother of three and writes for the USCCA Concealed Carry Magazine as well as having her own blog, “Pacifiers and Peacemakers” on the USCCA web site.
