So, how many rounds per month do the local police and sheriff’s deputies typically squeeze off?

Typical qualifications take 60 rnds, with one or two practice sessions of 60 rnds

Barney is the one person who would not be affected by the current ammunition shortage.

Now is the time for the ammunition manufacturers to Demand only GOLD and SILVER COIN for Payment. Then watch Government Gone Wild.

Some agencies change out ammunition about once a year to keep it fresh, so new training tactics are having to be implemented. What the hell for?

5 boxes a year per officer on average. Or so I’ve been told.

My daughter just went through Police Academy and they issued her 500 rounds. They usually just order all the ammo from one place and one brand. This year they spent most of the semester collecting various boxes of ammo from various places. Many had at least 4 brands of ammo.
There were a few that complained about having to qualify with one brand @ 124grn and another brand @ 115grn bullets on the same target.

5 boxes a year per officer on average. Yea, that's about right. That's 250 rounds YEAR for the average cop. I shoot that before lunch on a Saturday at the range.
Hell, that's a slow day at the reloading press for me.

Ditto at the range. And that's about a half-hour on the reloader (I love my Dillon 650XL!)

Can’t they recycle the brass from the range or are they to good for that? Is revamping ammo stock once a year a little extreme?

Last statement seems to negate the title Joe.
