I reckon this place would be a good test bed for the idea.
What would y'all think about cops having suppressors on a patrol rifle? Not a suppressor like in the movies that makes a gun silent but a real life model that just keeps the noise to a safe level? If you've never been around one, they're still loud....they just keep you from needing ear protection while shooting.
There have allegedly been cases of folks winning lawsuits against the police for firing rifles near them and causing hearing loss.
And I know of several cases of officers being unable to work after a shoot out because of hearing loss (they weren't completely deaf, but couldn't pass the department's hearing test).
If a suppressor was purchased by the officer, would you freak out that he used it at work?
