Each department is different and has its own policies.

From what I've seen, there are very few municipal departments (if any in the metro area) that carry .45 cal any more. Some county sheriff/constibles may still, and some small/outlying municipal departments may.

Some departments will issue a gun if you don't have one, but you're as likely to get a .38 wheelgun as anything else, especially from small departments.

Unless you find out differently from a specific department, if you're looking to get into an LE job you will be OK with a 9mm Sig in 98% of the departments.
