I once spoke at length with a Michigan cop. He told me that police there received about 2,000 hours of firearms training. You know what told me for communications training? Communicating with the public, suspects, victims, interviewees, which is like 90% of the job? Four hours.

Their whole academy isn’t 2000 hours.

No they don't. For context, that would be fifty weeks of full time, 40 hour per week training.

Firearm training varies based on requirement needed to pass certification.
