Steve in PA, I agree but some departments just don’t have the ability to pay to send. Around me there are several departments that use other departments instructors due to that reason. But they also lack doing any shooting as a department outside of qualifying. My opinion is if they are starting to charge for instructor courses, how long will it be until they charge for everything. Perhaps, this is their way of making some of the money back from not charging deadbeat municipalities for providing police coverage!
