Probably because of the difference in curriculum. i think the Police ATT revolves primarily around urban terrorism, the Army's also works on brute force CT/AT courses apart from urban terrorism. Also, as the military now has a first hand experience they must transfer it to all.

i hope Rescue Ranger could add more on this.

BTW, almost every AT setup has been trained by the SSG (the ASF - hostage rescue etc), so it's not surprising if the regulars now train the Police in routine.
