Do they show them victim picture or like really gruesome crime scenes so they can desensitize?

Are you asking about seeing a dead person or seeing someone naked?
As far as cops I can’t speak for all departments but most police departments barely get taught to shoot a gun ,so they aren’t seeing corpses to desensitize them.
For the US Army no on dead people as a whole, but for nudity, you are nude around each other all the time during basic training. It is comical watching the dudes get all worked about it who can’t handle it.
There are MOS (Military Occupational Speciality) that deal with dead bodies and work in surgeries etc, so they will be exposed to dead people.

When i was in the police (UK) we did crime scene training, and a few hours of it involved talking about how we can try and cope when seeing a dead body for the first time.
The advice we were given is that basically they are no longer a person. They are a fleshy meat sack which we should consider as being evidence of a potential crime. We were told to ignore the body and concentrate on the scene.
What can we see/smell/hear. Document everything. Were lights on/off, were doors locked/unlocked. Windows open/closed. Smashed glass on the inside of the house or the outside.
It didn’t matter if it was suspicious or not. We were reminded we weren’t detectives, we weren’t there to solve a murder, just secure evidence.
And it worked. Found a dead person on my second day. She, like every other sinilar job I’d been to had died of natural causes. But I remembered my training and just did my job.
Other cops would rely on humour. Ignore the corpse, crack jokes.
And yes, we were shown pictures of incredibly gruesome scenes. My favourite was the embolism, looked like a scene from Saw.

Holy shit that was fast. Or is it that common?
