Welcome to the forum TexReserve. We have several members in LEO, and an LEO Armorer.
Being in law enforcement you may look into geting a Mini-14GB. reserved for gov, and LEO's. They are a little more robust, and seem to be be more accurate out of the box. They come with 2- 20 rd Ruger Mags. You may be also entitled to the Restricted Post Ban Ruger 20-30 rd mags. The best you can get for $24 for LEO's only. The rest of us have to pay up to $100 or more. Check out:http://www.calssportingarmory.com/Ruger.htm
Now if you want real fire power you can get the AC556 restricted for Gov, and LEO's. Check out: http://www.duffysguns.com/Ruger%20AC556.htm
Of course you already know the Restricted stuff is for on Duty use not personal.
The regular mini, and the ranch usually shoot 5" groups at 100 yds. With a little tuning, and not much money you can shoot 1 1/2" to 2" at 100 yds. The how to is in this forum.
There is also a handy search button in upper right of your control panel. Enter key words, and all related posts will come up. Your key words, will be in RED
