I am friends with 2 cops, and associate with a few more. firearm accuracy isnt a big part of their training - IIRC they have a lot more emphasis on law and procedure.

I agree that marksmanship is important for anyone owning a gun, but if you are on a limited budget, and look realistically at how often a given office fires his weapon (once per year or less if at all ?) compared to how often they arrest someone for drugs then I can see why range time gets lost to "how to properly mirandize a perp so they dont get off later"

Even more reason to do what an officer tells you, reguardless of how right or wrong he/she is.
