    AFAIK they need a ticket, which involves doing a course (which they may have to pay for themselves). I have a cop mate who told me that despite being previously firearms qualified, because he hasn't done the latest update if another cop is getting shot he "isn't allowed" to pick up a firearm to defend them. I get the impression he finds the police bureacracy a tad frustrating at times.
