Not sure how to fix the money issues or training issues but the hardware is an easy fix the solution is the Ruger GP100 or Smith L frame .357 revolvers for a minimum of 18 months on the job. In my Aldeer life I'd say 90% of law enforcement I've shot with are outstanding people that feel LE is a calling much like ministry. The other 10% shouldn't have access to automobiles much less firearms. I've never been Daniel Horner or Jerry Miculek but I'd say I was decently okay as a handgun shot nothing extraordinary. The 10% folks couldn't hit a B34 8 ring at 12 yards or an 8 inch white painted steel plate at 20. It's all light and sweet busting chops about missing til the Ro tells them that some brass hawk like Dave could do permanent ballistic interface to ol'Nylon tactical plate carrier Glock totin' Methyl Ethyl Seal Airborne Ranger crewcut Ray Ban wearing wannabe. 30 something years ago either in Nevada or California (old age ain't for sissies!) Didn't an older couple face off a wrong address squat team and while the man of the house was killed and wife shot up a lot they managed to incapacitate 5 or 6 squat member and 3 of them permanently?
