The level of knowledge and expertise on this forum are impressive. I have no expert knowledge on this subject but...
In many professional settings, self-assessment is part of training. If that is the part of training that was inadequate then officers may not have the ability to adequately assess their own competencies. Poor training might also leave officers ignorant of certain procedures, rather than, say, a lack of practice with a given procedure. In either of these situations, would some of the blame not fall on the trainers/superiors?
