2) the stress to shoot before been shot, also, results in most shots being wild. This side of things is being addressed more and more. Not sure how this will continue with a lot of new police, as they don't like being put under the kind of stress that attempts to emulate-to a small degree - real life stresses.

3) They shoot once a year and need to do way more than this to introduce muscle memory on the firing sequence, so they shoot with a steadier trigger pull instead of a jerk.

While not the same stress as bullets whizzing past your head, or killing a person (lawfully), a fair amount on practice would alleviate some of these issues.

And not shooting at some circular target 7 m away ...

Really if a copmis shooting their service weapon only once a year, they should be treated as British cops and not be armed with a firearm.

No wonder so many police are frightened of civilians having firearms. They must be scared to shoot their own firearm.

Practice works if you are practicing the correct thing/method.

Most police in Australia will never have to draw their firearm in their time in the job, let alone use it. This maybe one of the reasons their commissioners do not mandate more training, apart from the cost. Don't get me wrong I believe they should have more compulsory range time than once a year.

Not sure if what Aussie police forces use a circular target. I thought most used a human shaped target.
