Well this just about takes the biscuit, why isn't there certain qualifications a person should reach before being accepted in certain positions in the police service?

It seems that this was precisely the point though. This test was meant as a minimum qualification standard to keep their job -- and, presumably, in the past they managed it -- but they've been handed a weapon they can't use. If you had to take a written test with a broken pen, or asked to write with the wrong hand, I don't think you'd do as well as you were really able to either.
In principle anyone taking a firearms test should be given a weapon they can use. Stands to reason, no?
