Where do they find them? At the Police Academy. Haven't you seen the movies?

Sadly, not all cops who have to use their guns are really gun people and as a result, NDs happen. Cops have a huge variety of tasks that they need to do very well for things to work out properly. The only thing is that few cops ever master all of the skills they need. We tend to focus on the gun aspects because we are part of a gun forum and have a particular interest in guns.

Some martial arts folks are bothered by less than great open hand skills. Psychologists often complain of a lack of proper and productive negotiation skills to help diffuse situations.

The fact of the matter is that most cops are generalists, put into a job that demands a huge variety of skills, of which they may only master a few and of those mastered, not all necessarily pertain to work on the street.
