You may weep; the NY State Department of Criminal Justice has a 50 round qual course from 3 yards to 25 yards, with VERY generous time limits- like 8 rounds in 40 seconds at 25 yards(a reload is mandated).
It has been a number of years since I spoke with any member of service there, but I recall NYPD at that time had dropped the 25 yard portion…
Supposedly it was “not relevant in a city environment “.
That may have changed. I do know NYPD special units(ESU,etc.) shoot more, but I don’t know their specific quals.
Unknown at the moment. I will reach out and try to get the specific CoF and report back.
@blues may have some insight.
There's nothing civil about this war.
Thank you sir. I will see what I can find out about present day practices.
Keep in mind:
NYC and to an extent NYPD are the antithesis of a “gun culture.”
As previously noted 40k cops qualifying 2x per year means 1,000 quals per weekly understanding is one “day” qual at the outdoor range in Rodman’s Neck and one “low light” qual at the indoor range in Brooklyn.
NYPD recruits only receive 15 days of “firearms” training while in the academy, including instruction on tactics, the use of tasers and pepper spray. So how many of those 15 days are actual gun handling and marksmanship?
OK, I’ll keep that in mind.
Do you know the current qualification course(s)[day and “low light”]?
I can barely imagine how it all works, with around 40,000 personnel. IMO, it’s remarkable that there are not more “NDs”, errant shots, etc. given 15 days of multiple tools training…
