Jerry rigging a light onta plastic handguard is not as good as a proper rail and mount. Even if Magpul made all the plastic stuff.
I Sir will 100% take your ammo from you. I can tell you for 100% fact that the rifle school LVMPD goes through is 48 hours long, they shoot and QUALIFY out to 200 yds. Several "ex military " have gone through and had a very tough time with the class. The Officers qualify 4x a year, and have to shoot a 90% or better. Don't pass 2x, and the rifle is gone until they take a 10 hour refresher and re-qual.
Careful making assumptions about some "City Cop" and his equipment and training. LVMPD isn't Mayberry.
