Were the police receptive to your offer? I suppose it depends on the size of the town and the force, and the qualifications of the guy offering . I've thought about this but our police force has their own firearms instructors and probably wouldn't care to open it up to "old" retirees.
Most do. There are less than a dozen Sheriff deputies in our county, but they still have a "qualified training officer" at their qualification outings at our local gun club. Deputies are encouraged to do as much practice as they can get in, and all but one is still military reserve. Don't know for sure, but there may be some liability issues involved with a civilian doing any firearms training.
