Exactly; train as you fight, fight as you train. Years ago, I arranged for my local LE training program to be held at a rural rifle club that let us drive our patrol-cars right out onto the range. It was best for the guys I was training because that's 95% of our shooting incidents - in and around patrol-cars. Anyway, things went great for a couple of years until one guy accidentally put a nice clean .40" hole through his passenger-door mirror (didn't notice it until the next day). The pencil-pushers then put the halt on my training and put us back on the centuries-old static firing-line paper-target routine. Instead of chalking up a rare $100 repair expense as an accident and the price of effective, possibly life-saving training .... they'd rather mandate training that was valuable only on paper. Gotta love office-dwellers ...
