The vast majority of officers never fire their weapon in the line of duty.
US cops do study close combat techniques. Talking about the training generally is impossible, since the quality, type, and upkeep of that training varies a lot by department. Usually it depends on what is needed in their area and what funds are available.
That said, all departments put office safety first. They will not generally take unnecessary risks, so a charging behemoth who has specified his intent to kill will probably be shot, regardless of close combat training.
- llukas 9y agoPlease compare how long it takes to train US cop vs other first world countries. Length of training is woefully inadequate.
