23. It's because they AREN'T highly trained

The "secret" is that most LEOs aren't all that skilled with firearms. Many departments have NO qualifying standards or training after the initial qualification. I have 10+-year cops in my own family that haven't fired a sidearm in over a decade. They go hunting with long guns. I have a cousin who shoots about 200 rds. once a month, but he is unusual.

I shoot one to three times a month, as many rounds as I can afford, because I believe if you have a pistol and a CCW, you should stay trained. I have also had training in both aimed and point shooting, and bet good money I am better trained with a pistol and a better shot than many, if not most, LEOs out there.

This doesn't surprise me at all. If a civilian did that, we would be arrested and charged with a felony.
