Took two USCP friends to the range this am, they wanted to practice for upcoming Q's. Their Department Policy prohibits using their duty firearm on public|private ranges. So they purchased a G22 for their public|private shooting.
In my opinion that is a dumb frigin policy.
Wonder if any other departments have a similar policy?

it is in place for a few reasons.
Liability being primary.

Not at all unheard of.
The mentality behind it is if you injure/kill someone else with dept weapon then the dept can be linked to it and then some chief might get his/her/xir fat ass dragged to civil court and have it all over the news.
Do I agree with it? No. Because similar policies state you can only carry your approved weapon as a CCW with badge and creds.
Lots of guys either get a personal CCW license and or get a waiver to carry their own gun just to cut down on the mother may I spiel.
Every time you see or hear of a stupid, retarded policy keep in mind that it is universally as a direct result of:
A. Some dumbass officer being a dumbass
B. Some Alcoholic City Attorney
C. Some fat ass Chief comfortable in their position.
D. Some nosy City Councilor who has never been anywhere nor done anything in life
The easiest workaround is what your friends are doing, buy their own gun and shoot on their own time.
I personally have had more than my fair share of dealings with agency heads and not a single one cared how awesome you were with your scores beyond if you passed or not.

HOW WILL YOU USE YOUR FIREARM?

In all fairness, I can see their point. Someone has an accident or some other misadventure and they want to eliminate the variable.
Yet for 8, 10, 12 hours a day you are trusting them with the same gun that you wont let them practice with.
I dont know why everyone thinks police are body dropping, hardened gunslingers. (Actually some may well be) but on average....no. You will be filling out forms far more than you will be shooting anyone or anything.
But you know....stuff like this isnt my pet peeve. I would almost rather diversity hires and "very special" officers be browbeaten into not letting their hoodrat shackjob or their stripper girlfriend play with an issue weapon.
No....my biggest peeve is that the forms people like to cook up have not enough room for a legit narrative. So it goes to a supplement, which some fatass wonders why it isnt on tge nornal form.
I may not deal with this BS for another year.....it all gets written down.
"Well I dont want to read it all"
Well....get another job or just sign off snd lets all move on with our lives.

So if you go in your back yard how are they going to know? This is really stupid and I thought my upper command had lost their minds.

It's all good bro. Another policy states any would be terrorist activity in the AO will be responded to in a vigilant and timely matter in addition to effectively bringing all appropriate assets on scene. It's filed under smoke and mirrors.....
We gotz IOPS, on top of SOPs inside of idontknowwhatthefvckthisissupposetodo OPs... Yay bureaucracy.
