ABSTRACT
One of the reasons for the prohibition is the difculty of successfully engaging a moving vehicle. Ideally, one should take cover. However, if caught in the open, there may be little choice. This policy is understandable from the point of view of most uniformed ofcers. However, for protective teams dealing with a carload of adversaries actively attacking with rearms, it falls far short. While there is no argument regarding the dif-culty of hitting a moving target accurately, it can be done. For protective teams, just as with other special operations units, training for this should be a standard. As such, the policy should accommodate this.
