But you'd think that if their job was law enforcement of internet crimes, they would have to have at least a very basic understand of this sort of thing. It couldn't be more than a 2 or 3 hour training course to teach people a bit about IP and how to use subpoenas or other law enforcement requests to ISPs to get what they need.

Law enforcement however should understand how this works however, otherwise how can they do their job effectively? Likewise if they're investigating computer crimes they should have some basic understanding of how computers work (at least from a practical perspective, they don't need the theory of why computers work).

That said, I am surprised the local sheriffs don't immediately recognize the address and disregard it, after the first few misunderstandings.
