Isn't range time already an issue for NYC cops?

Their single range facility at Rodman's neck is always fully scheduled, but getting 35,000 people through just qualifications, let alone additional training, is a monumental challenge. This is complicated by the fact that many of their officers do not shoot on their own time and dime because they see it as a compensation issue and will not shoot if they're not being paid to do so. It shouldn't surprise anyone when these circumstances culminate in incidents like the one last week.
