Description of the Problem

Since 2000 there has been a proliferation of police rifles, and the policies and training vary significantly by department. There is not a guide or best practice for the use of these military grade products. Issues such as distance for use, appropriate use, officer selection and training appear to be areas that the entire nation could use guidance on (which we are interested in, as related to our issues).
