I think it's a mistake to have combat soldiers taught by LEO's, unless those soldiers are MP’s.

The difference in ROE and mindset are the foremost problem I have with LEO tactics, techniques and procedures, while they are great for LEO's they are not suited to combat soldiers or combat operations. Also, LEO's teach defensive shooting techniques, not offensive.

LEO's also stress one possibly two "criminals" or "crazies" in their training scenarios... not 10 to 20 "crusaders". While you might be able to negotiate with a criminal and possibly a crazy; you are not going to negotiate with a crusader. (There are no negotiation teams in US Special Operations.)

SF shooting schools are the best in the world for what we do, but not always easy to get all your guys into.
