Both methods are known to be used. Sometimes a manufacturer will make a deal with a department, and then use a local dealer as a point of contact for service and support (warranty work, and as an armorer). Sig Sauer deals with a lot of departments directly (This is the largest source for their red box guns). I think one of the city the PDs in my county got their Kimbers Eclipse IIs from Kimber directly, although the SO here got their TLE IIs from an area Dealer who wanted to sell enough Kimbers to become an official Kimber dealer. The other City PD in my county doesn't buy guns at all, they expect the officers to supply their own gear.pcgizzmo wrote:Where do police departments get their weapons? Do you buy from dealers or direct from manufacturers?
