How often does an RCMP officer have to qualify with his gun and what is involved?
Formal evaluations are annually.

At a minimum 100-200rounds, this includes holster un holster, varied positions 7 to 25 yds, maybe even some 50 yd stuff(instructor, and range constraints), along with stoppage drills, and shooting from the weak hand.

Many LEA's require more frequent less stringent practice session as often as quarterly, or bi-annually.
