A comparison of two law enforcement marksmanship assessments
Officer firearm qualification rates are influenced by the nature of the marksmanship assessment undertaken as are their perceptions of firearm comfort, confidence, and safety when handling and firing their firearm. A firearms qualification assessment should include a variety of occupationally relevant situations (e.g. moving, shooting from behind cover, vocalisation, etc.), and consider impacts on officer firearms confidence.
