I belive you will find most departments will issue a modern semiauto handgun. In many cases they will be Glock .40, 9mm, or .357sig.FriscoKid wrote: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.
I think it's Bedford, or maybe Hurst issues a 1911 to it's officers. Many departments will allow an officer to carry his own sidearm on duty as long as it is on an approved list, and they have qualified with it.
