A lot of police don't get a lot of practice due to buget problems. It's up to them as individuals to practice. The department my brother is with allows them to use the department range anytime they want they are even allowed to bring a guest. I am going to go with him when we are both off one day he says they have a nice pistol and rifle range that are fairly new. The range is always in use the department is kinda In a ruel area with a lot of country boys that like to hunt and shoot he said just before deer season start you can't get near it with everybody sighting in there deer rifles.
