NYPD Officers Shoot More, Hit Less: Newsday picks some data from the 
2005 NYPD SOP-9 (Annual Report of Discharges) and notes a 75% increase 
in the number of shots fired by officers over the previous year and a

targets. (This seems consistent with informal reports that I receive 
from LASD.)

Rule Two, Rule Three Reminder: A Missouri State Highway Patrol captain 
shot himself in the arm during a training exercise. (Rule Two: Don't let

are on the target and you're prepared to fire.)

capacity feeding device [more than 10 rounds]."
