As an LEO as well I think the biggest thing you could do would be to seek a broad variety of training opportunities. My department is a large well funded department and as a result we have some good equipment, but I feel that our training is lacking in a few key areas. I think this is because of cultural inbreeding. I.e the range instructors go to the same schools they always have and never seek out different training or experiences.
I also think that competition shooting is a great way to see what works and what doesn't in a time compressed environment. You'll often hear that competitions get you killed, but I don't think that's true. Competitions train key aspects of tactical shooting, they aren't a UOF them self. To me thats like saying don't strength train because you won't find any heavy bars on the street.
