Why propose this to your PD? You can do it yourself. Training is available, widely available. In one week you will be better trained than %90 of law enforcement. Forget the surplus rifles, buy a good Ruger or Remington or Bushmaster AR. For about $2000, you can be armed & trained in both shooting skills and legal issues & laws to a expert standard. Check out Thunder Ranch, Guncite, Ayoob.com, Blackwater.

Why forget the surplus rifles? A M1 Garand or even a 1903A3.I could name a bunch of excellent firearms that are military surplus that would do the job superbly. Mausers, K98K, VZ98/22, VZ24. All have the potential to be very accurate, and inexpensive.
