sear safeties

Question

I understand the concept of the sear safety and how it worked but why did the police outfits see the need and the military didn't? Preventing a discharge while the pistol's receivers are separated, well who doesn't check to make sure the chamber is empty? Was it a lack of training on the part of the police? Was it the habit of German overengineering? I can see the use of mag safeties but the sear safety seems totally unnecessary.
