This is a question that has been knocking about in my skull for quite a while now. I was wondering what sort of firearms and tactical training the police get. Current and retired LEO's and friends, feel free to give your input. From what I heard from an officer in my county describing his firearms training, it was not very much or very good. According to him, they spent 6 weeks in training; 2 on driving, 2 on shooting, and 2 on procedures. I was also told about a sort of killing house, but it sounded more like that's advanced training not really focused on in the program and left more for the SWAT guys. From what I've heard, it sound like a civilian with a secondhand Glock, some time, an NRA basic course, and $40 to spend on ammo during a weekend could rapidly eclipse Police standards. This thread is not intended to cop bash.
