Case law says training should be relevant, recent and realistic. 18 cops on the flat range once per quarter isn’t realistic. The low hit rates are embarrassing but we are too embarrassed to train with Ben.
My observation is cops will use their sights on the handgun when they are qualifying but add in any kind of dynamic movement or just shooting a drop turner they forget sights and just send rounds in the direction of the target. They do the same thing in sims training and it becomes reality for them to just shoot without aiming. We have to figure out how to make them use sights all the time and make that their reality. Just saying we are going to hold you accountable is not working.
