I'm lucky to live in a city where the cops seem to take their firearms training pretty seriously, and the beancounters seem willing to let them do it. I shoot at the police range regularly, and they are out there all the time doing one thing or another. Shotgun and rifle classes, using the little shoothouse they have set up, all types of stuff in addition to the usual qualifications.
And it seems to be paying off. The last officer involved shooting that I am aware of was a footchase/gunfight with a bank robber, and the cops hit him with every round fired, or nearly so.
