It's A Rare Gun That Fires Without A Finger On The Trigger!

The Captain's Journal  Police Officer Negligent Discharges:

Accidental gunshots by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies have more than doubled in two years... The jump coincides with the department’s move to a new handgun that lacks a safety lever and requires less pressure to pull the trigger.They are blaming it on a SA/DA pistol because of the heavy trigger pull for the first round (although I have to say that 6-8 pounds isn’t exactly a light trigger pull for the M&P). Thus they have trained officers to keep their fingers on the trigger of their handguns when they deploy their firearm.  They say so.
[Emphasis added]

Buncha California Liberal Snits blame the gun when it's their mandated policies that are the problem.
Snarf!
Who could expect any more responsibility from the adolescent twerps who run  control  screw the state today?

Keep Your Booger Hook Off The Bang Switch!
keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot at the target.

Everything else is secondary, although some shooting rules sets seem to make this secondary to "keep your gun pointed in a safe direction'.

It's difficult to prioritize gun safety rules, we know that.  But when some "administrators" define the Rules of Engagement and deliberately ignore known safety rules,  it reveals them for the total idiots they are when the mandate unsafe practices.

And when the shit hits the fan, they blame the guns rather than to accept their own responsibility?

Well .. .it's California.

Nobody expects them to be sane, but I'm pretty sure that the officers who are required to live within their rules know their masters administrators are idiots.

Given that there don't seem to be a lot of 'accidental shootings', one wonders if the cops on the beat aren't letting a few bullets fly just to demonstrate how inane their bespoke procedures are.

Keeping your finger out of the trigger guard is the best safety and assurance against an AD. The amount of time it takes to move that didget to the trigger and to press the trigger is measured in fractions of a second. Seems simple, but maybe not in California.

It appears that in California, they think outside the box.

they actually admit they set their training this way?

Proof that the idiots are in charge.

I'd also bet part of the problem here is that, even knowing they shouldn't, a lot of them got used to having their finger in contact with the trigger on the Beretta because "Hey, take a lot to pull it!"
