As for driving.
Admin won't fund the training. We even have a sworn officer who is an admin Sgt who is a driving instructor, but they say they don't have the time, money, or staff in order to have the training.

So we have a driving instructor who works for us but admin won't let it happen. I get excuse after exuse if it isn't one thing its another.
Ummm...I have heard of units using rental cars or cruisers headed to the bone yard and an unused section of highway or runway to practice on. Almost no cost to the unit, if you have your own instructor and some cones.
