Does your agency issue your weapons?
|
Posted 2 months ago I have heard of some departments that let the officers carry what they want, does yours? I love each day like its my last! Why do we are have to be so serious? |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Nope, all dept issued. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago They issue ours but they also let us carry what ever we want. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago They Issue all firearms...its all about liability! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago They started issuing about three years ago. Some were not to happy about it but most have come around. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago All weapons and uniforms are issued by our department. As pointed out before, departmental and county liability plays a big part in that decision. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I work for two departments. One issues, one doesn't. The one that doesn't is kinda picky, though. They have to inspect and approve whatever you carry, which is good. Liability and all. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago I work for two employers.. 1 dept full time and another on a per-deim basis... my full time issues the weapon but the part time does not set a guide line for a glock 22 or 23 |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Purchase our own from an approved list. The list consists of Glock Model 22 or 23 for uniform carry and 27s for plain clothes.
If it's not their gun, they can't get sued if we shoot someone while we're off duty. FORMERLY KNOWN AS wgipson1073.

|
| Posted 2 months ago Deffinately issued. Feds would not want us making our own informed decision eh? H&K P2000 (USP) .40. The LEM trigger is somethin special to get used to, but all in all I love it. "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."

|
| Posted 2 months ago issued a GLOCK by the department but our back-ups are our choice LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY BUT RATHER TO SLIDE IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING "HOLY SHIT....WHAT A RIDE" |
|
| Posted 2 months ago we have an approved list of weapons that we supply the money for and the department purchases. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Issued. "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. " |
|
| Posted 2 months ago All issued Glock 37's |
|
| Posted 2 months ago All weapons are issued, a policy is in effect forbidding personal weapons in patrol vehicles. I have 2 Glocks a Shotgun and an M-16 Pain is weakness leaving the body. Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off the goal. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago We carry what we want. Well behaved women rarely make history ................ |
|
| Posted 2 months ago LMAO- oh, sorry...you were serious- Hell no they do not- we even have to pay for all our uniforms and gear...and they give you a list of what they will allow you to carry- S&W-Glock, etc. and even the ammo type that you can and can not carry. Sometimes in this world there is Justice,..and sometimes there is JUST US..

|
| Posted 2 months ago We're issued a Sig 229. Any off duty or back up weapon is not issued. I carry a Sig 239 off duty.

| Posted 2 months ago Department issued Glock 22 |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Nope but must be on a approved list. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago My department issues all gear but we can carry what ever back up weapon we what. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago We provide our own weapon out of our pocket -- which is fine with me as I carry a wheel-gun by choice. It wasn't until I went full-time that they even provided the ammo to qualify with. (Qualify, but not practice.) |
|
| Posted 2 months ago My department gives you the option of carrying your own firearm if you so choose. If you decide on carrying your own it must be approved by the Chief and you must qualify with it as you would anything else. Our department issue firearm is a Smith & Wesson Sigma in .40 S&W (JUNK). Only one guy in my department carries the department firearm. I carry my Glock model 21 for duty. WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THIS MESS??? |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Our office issues our firearm. You can carry your own firearm off duty but you must also qualify with it on the range and purchase your own ammo to qualify with. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Our department issues Sig P226 .40's to all Full Time Officers.
Part timers have to buy their own and can use anything from a .38, to a .45.
Reserves which is what I am can carry the same as the Part Timers and all ammo is supplied. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago My department issues the glock 21 and the shotgun. I also have an AR15. I got it after I completed the training. I have a TASER M26. |
|
|
| Posted 2 months ago I carry a glock 30 off duty. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Department issues duty weapons, shotguns and rifles. Officers can carry their own 2nd weapon. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Department issued IMI Desert Eagle (Jericho), but allow personal weapons of 9mm, 40 S&W , and .45 after qualification, EXCLUDING all Glocks. Also issue Mossberg Persuader and M-16. |
