75% of police officers killed with firearms are killed at a distance of ten feet or less.

Police Officers have to close to contact distance in order to effect arrests, and they need to be at conversational distances to interview subjects. A lot of police work happens within this distance, so it is not too surprising that high number of losing gunfights also occur at this distance.

Some law enforcement trainers have argued for greater emphasis on marksmanship skills at close distances, but I this is not the solution they are looking for. This is not a marksmanship problem as much as it is a tactics problem. A greater emphasis on movement during the draw stroke, and continued movement while shooting will increase survivability more than just getting better hits faster at close distances.
