Often, when negligent discharges occur with law enforcement officers, it is because many of the departments have standardized in the use of Glock handguns. Glock uses a grip safety, not a positive physical saftey. Additionally, they are striker fired, not hammer fired, which means they are ready to fire once a round is chambered.
A hammer fired pistol can have the hammer decocked, requiring a heavier triggger pull to cock and fire in one motion (double -action cocking and firing).
Striker fired often has no decocking, and if they do are still hampered if they only have a grip safety. Drawing the Glock disengages the grip safety, and often people put the finger in the trigger while drawing, and the weapon can be fired before the wielder is ready to shoot.
