Different strokes, and all that. Cops are like regular shooters- some gots skills and train to use them, some do the bare minimum.
Take any random number of guys at any range at any particular time, and have them shoot a similar IDPA stage with what they have right there and then. (If you did that, you’re a braver man than I, Gunga Din!).
Chances are they wouldn’t do much better- as the fact that they shoot a 1 yard group at 3 yards will attest.
