Yeah, but you'd have to ingest the lead, have open cut or inhale it. Lead on your fingers isn't as bad unless you lick them, or handle food. And most ammo that police use is jacketed..I haven't seen unclad lead bullets except for shot, and that is usually steel (bird shot).
Unless, they are shooting at christmas light strings...because THAT has more lead exposure than what I just read...  /s
The range operated that way for about a year until more than a dozen officers started feeling sick and reported testing positive for lead in their blood.

What?!? At an outdoor range?  How many thousands of rounds were these cops shooting per week?  I am skeptical. >

The range has been in use for the better part of a century. I have no issue believing that there are significant amounts of lead contaminating the soil. >

Yeah, I have no problem at all believing that.  Any range is going to be contaminated with lead.  
With a backstop at a minimum of 20 yards away, though, how much lead dust do you think the shooter is going to inhale?  Indoor ranges tend to be a problem with lead due to small size/close backstop and due to recirculated air, but the risk is mainly confined to employees who work there every day, not people who shoot a couple hundred rounds at most a year.  
I've never heard of someone getting lead poisoning at an outdoor range. >

I guess that's a different type of lead poisoning... >

Yeah… There really needs to be a considered upper limit of delivery speed to count as poisoning. >

Wait this was an outdoor range? I read not getting air filtration for the bullet traps being an issue thinking it was a stupid oversight being an indoor range. Are they literally standing in front of these traps? >

I have no idea what they are shooting, but using unjacketed bullets and cleaning without gloves is a more likely cause of lead exposure than breathing it in outdoors.
