Tone is hard to determine on the internet, so I am wondering why you put quotation marks around sniper rifle. And if you really want to discuss the way they do things, I've found they respond better to "LEOs" than "cops".
Now, if you have a question reference the S&B Short Dot sight, feel free to ask. If you want a class on Selection of Sniper Weapons Systems for Law Enforcement use in the United States, start another thread. I'm sure Brian and others will be glad to assist.

Tone was not intended to be sarcastic, merely that designating an AR as a precision rifle intended for "Sniper" use would appear to be a poor choice, unless that rifle was a Crane/Knights Mk12 or Mk11 SPR system. The average Leo carries an Armalite or Bushmaster. As was stated, not the epitome of precision rifles for longer distance precision fire. The task could, I suppose, be done with an AR, but with an AR platform that was task designated for "Sniper" use utilizing a Harris bi-pod and higher powered glass, a heavy bull type barrel and most likely a Leopold. But, this would not be an entry weapon system platform. Hence the question of the use of the AR as a designated sniper system.
Would the S&B Short Dot be the best choice for a sniper ?? From what I've read and it's design specs, It wouldn't be my first choice for sniper duty. But, then again, I'm only speaking from the aspect of my hunting experience with high powered scopes and limited experience with red dots and hollowgraphics. So yes, I'm out of my depth with a multi task optic. It would seem that for the cost of the S&B Short Dot, a police dept could purchase two AR's and Two ACOG's for the cost of two S&B's.
