Consider yourself lucky. My dept doesnt issue any ammo, period. We are required to buy our won, and there are no guidelines, other than it must be hollowpoint. For that matter, my dept doesnt issue anything but uniforms, badge, and brass. My vest, my duty gear, my gun, my cuffs, my boots, etc...its all mine, and all purchased from my pocket.
At first it sounds stupid, but I bet HPD motor police take better care of their cycles than others that ride a 'loaner'...Doug.38PR said:I understand Houston Police Department policemen, in addition to buying their own gun, must BUY THEIR OWN MOTORCYCLE and have it altered and painted for police use if they want to be biker cops.
That blew me away when I heard that. That is a boatload of money for a policeman...or anybody to spend for public use.

Because it's in your blood and you give a damn?Why the hell do I do this again?
