Well, the SPD carries the Glock Model 21 (.45 ACP,) and the County Police carry the Smith & Wesson (not sure what model) .40 S&W, though they are converting to the Glock Model 22 (.40 S&W.)

GLOCKS
You can't throw a rock around here without hittin' a Glock .40 in a cops holster. The KSP still use that dang 10mm Smith. At least they are using Glock 27s for backup, plainclothes, and off duty. Some of the departments allow whatever the officer wants, but you still see more Glocks than anything else.

Don't get me started . . . . . .
Municipal cops carry Beretta 40's in whatever configuration they choose.
Deputies carry Beretta 9mm's but have the option of carrying their own 9mm (one carries a Sigma, yikes!). They are rumored to be moving up to .40's in the near future.
State Highway Patrol carries Berreta .40's (SA/DA).
State Conservation Officers carry Glock 40's.
State Dept. of Criminal Investigation Agents can carry either a Sig p239 in 9mm or a Sig P232 in .380.
We (State Police) carry Glock 9mm's but are moving up to .40's soon. But not soon enough for me! I can almost feel that 3rd Generation G23 with +2 LEO mags now.

Greeting's All,
My local P.D. along with the sheriff's office allows officer's
a choice, between revolver's and/or semi-auto's. Most
can be found carrying a semi-auto, from one of the major
player's: Glock, Sig-Sauer, Smith N' Wesson, or Colt. The
revolver guy's and gal's mostly choose is a Smith N' Wesson
66/686 in .357 magnum caliber.
Best Wishes,
Ala Dan, Life Member N.R.A.

Had a few changes here recently, deffinately a trend forming though. (All small agencies, 12 officers or less each)
The So carries Glocks in .40 - switched from S&W .45, various auto loaders.
The HP carry M 96 Berettas - they are the only local agency not to have made some sort of new gun buy in the last couple of years
3 municipal agencys switched to Glock in .40 - from various auto loaders. (HK P7 in 9mm (I think), 9mm S&W autos, and Colt 1911s in .45)
And 2 Municipalities carry Sigmas in .40 - one switched to them from old SW autos in .40 and one just ordered in new ones to replace their old ones.

Here in Belgium the Municipal Police carried a large variety of hand guns from .38 calibre S&W revolvers to Walther P5 and (mainly) the Browning HP in 9x19 mm. The Armed Forces and State Police ("National Guard") also stick to their Brownings HP for many decades now. Actually the Municipal Police and State Police (nowadays joined in the "Federal Police") are switching to Glock 19 while I believe SWAT-team members choose handguns according to their personal taste (Glock 17 and 19 and FN Five-seveN).
