The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will work with HDR Inc. to measure sound from the department’s firing range beginning Wednesday, Nov. 18, and continuing through Friday, Nov. 20, 2026. Noise monitoring will take place in neighborhoods surrounding the firing range, including but not limited to Marine Villa, Gravois Park, Dutchtown and Mount Pleasant.
The Board of Police Commissioners initiated the study to better understand how sound from the range reaches nearby neighborhoods and identify ways to reduce its impact on residents.
“Being a good neighbor starts with listening to the people who live near the range and taking their concerns seriously,” said Board of Police Commissioners President Chris Saracino. “We value our partnership with these neighborhoods, and this study will help us identify practical steps to reduce the impact of range noise on residents.”
HDR Inc. will use the measurements to develop strategies for reducing range noise and recommend measures for future implementation.
We appreciate the patience of our neighbors while this work is underway.
