Chief Range Safety Officers (CRSOs)
A Chief Range Safety Officer (Chief RSO) is the senior-level authority overseeing the entire range operation and team of RSOs at a shooting facility. In addition to possessing all the qualifications and responsibilities of a standard RSO, the Chief RSO coordinates scheduling, supervises subordinate officers, develops and implements range policies, handles administrative tasks like certifications and incident reporting, and makes final decisions on safety rulings or disputes.
