Surely to enhance safety all police pilots should be instrument rated and not do this micky mouse "instrument awareness" training. There have been accidents of inadvertant IMC that would have been perfectly recoverable had the pilot been rated
Agree 100%
However you partly answered your own question. Costs would be the main thing that the Police Chancellors would object to. As far as I am aware Devon and Cornwall are the only Police unit that has gone the extra mile in this area.
