The local SA police some time ago, 1990s or 2000s had a shooting incident in a park or oval in a suburb near my city house, KMs away though.

The report in the media from memory mentioned from say 17 to the 30s of cartridges being fired at the offender I believe who was standing completely in the open and not at great range. Only one to three rounds actually hit the offender. I do not believe any fired shots were of a suppressive nature.

Obviously a great lack of marksmanship was indicated by the article. I believe after that incident, it was used as an excuse to rearm the police with a new handgun.

I'm not sure what the service handgun is today? A Glock?

It used to be some crappy .380 ACP semiauto pistol and then a .357 revolver. One or both of these during the above incident.

Marksmanship is not a highly desired skill per the police leadership. Collecting fines and taxation seems to be a priority. I used to shoot at an indoor club range and some regular members were offduty police officers. Those officers obviously had a different standard to the average street copper.

IMO if you're carrying a handgun on your hip in a holster, and are said to be "protecting the public", you should be proficient in its use and of adequate marksmanship.
