Sounds rather strange. In most jurisdictions don’t cops
have to complete copious quantities of paperwork after
firing their weapons?

In most jurisdictions, dog shootings are rubberstamped as “justified”.

Preparation for the day when shootings of Freepers will be rubberstamped “justified”.

• Option 0. You, as a cop, have to drive to the beat and then chase some hoodlums around for the whole duration of the shift. You may become cold, wet, and uncomfortable. There is always some danger involved, and Control is always bothering you with status and assignments.
• Option 1. You, as a cop, have to sit in a comfortable chair at the station and type on a computer, as slowly as you can manage. You may become relaxed, sleepy, or full of coffee and donuts. There is no danger, and you are immune from Control's calls.

It doesn't appear that the "copious quantities of paperwork" is a punishment. It's more like a reward - the same pay for an office job.
