Technically not quite.

When you are trained to use a weapon, you aim for the largest available target. On a person, that's the torso.

You never shoot to kill or shoot to incapacitate. You shoot to stop.

Trying to land a round on an arm or a leg on a moving target when your adrenaline is up and there is alot of distractions around you is near on impossible.

What do you expect in a country where everyone is allowed to run around with guns, and knives.

Shooting a moving target in the leg to stop them running is a fantasy for films.

cops are not trained snipers, they just need to stop a general target. No way they can calculate a leg or arm shot on a moving target while also calculating the damage to passers by and anyone stood anywhere near that may get hit by a ricochet in the extremely likely event they miss ...

my understanding is that the armed response polis “shoot to incapacitate” and this usually means the chest area, but that sometime they need to go for a headshot in the case of terrorists specifically as they may be wearing body armour. i read something about it a while back.

it’s interesting, seems it’s a bit of a grey area, covered by common law and subject to criminal law also. has to be self defence or public protection and only reasonable force.

All police services are trained to aim for body mass. Only SIS are trained for head shots.
