I know a handful of Alaska State Troopers who go the extra mile. They carry Smith Enterprise M-14's in the trunk just in case the BG's have farther reaching guns (which in Alaska is very likely) than the issued 40S&W and shotguns. They also goto the range daily, train in combative techniques NOT taught in the LE academy, and conduct weight and cardio training as well. Heck you would think they wanted to do whatever it takes to go home to their families at the end of the day!
