Several AFL Collingwood players are being investigated for allegedly misusing a police firing range at the Victoria Police Academy.

The Office of Police Integrity (OPI) is investigating whether members of the AFL club's leadership group falsified documents to allow them to enter the range of use police-issue pistols, the Herald Sun reported.

The investigation follows a complaint about how members of the club used the range.

The OPI will also examine if people who fire weapons, even under supervision, require shooting licences.

The Herald Sun said the visit was approved by "very senior" police.

Magpies CEO Gary Pert confirmed players visited the shooting range at the police academy in Glen Waverley as part of a leadership program with the force.

He said he was unaware of any wrongdoing or falsification of documents by any Collingwood player or official.

"Quite the opposite. The guys were very conscious of how disciplined and strong the controls were," he said.

"The amount of police supervision was intense."
