What do Indiana's Police Departments Carry?

[CPT Nervous]

Let's see:

St. Joseph County PD : SIG P229 .40
South Bend PD : M&P 9
Mishawaka PD : M&P 9
Memorial Hospital PD : SIG P226 .40
Elkhart County Sheriff's Department: Glock 22 .40
Elkhart PD : SIG P229 .40 (I believe)
Goshen PD : SIG P229 .40 (I believe)
Bristol PD : M&P 40
Middlebury PD : Glock 22 .40


Some departments around here are switching to 9mm. Elkhart was going to switch to the new SIG P320 in .45, but it failed to fire every JHP they tried, so they sent them back.

I always find it odd that different factions of the same department would be issued different sidearms.
why would swat have G17's and the rest 226's?

Some officers were more special than the others.

 

[Birds Away]

Wallets, lots and lots of wallets.

LaPorte County carries as issue, a Sig 229R, either DA/SA or DAK in .357 Sig caliber. The current issue ammunition is the Speer Gold Dot, 125 gr. load.

I just checked with a friend at Bloomington PD. They just switched last week to gen 4 17s and 19s. Both are the MOS versions. If the officer wants to carry a red dot, they can if they buy it them self.

Man thats to bad. I really wanted to pick up the same gun issued to BPD. But ive had a glock in .40, and that caliber aint for this guy.

Just curious. Why do you want to get the same gun that's issued to BPD?

Family ties? I will always have a fondness for Bloomington as I have a paternal connection there (grandparents on 4th Street by the BMV).

 

[HoughMade]

Family ties?...

That would be disappointing.

I was imagining some sort of complex scenario that involved murder-for-hire, pinning it on a cop using the "best pick-pocket" in the midwest and barrel switching.

Im nearing the end of my useless degree and for the last two or three years my head is just stuck on getting involved in law enforcement as a career, also im planning on taking some legitmate defense classes just for myself. Id like to use that platform for the classes and maybe swap over to it for my edc.

 

[Ithaca45]

Noble County Sheriff's Dept. carry Glock 17 with G43 as a backup. The Sheriff and one Special Deputy will carry a 1911 also.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Indianapolis Airport Police GLOCK G22 , sure look like Glock-23's to me?

 

[shootersix]

just to update, Vanderburgh county sheriffs department now carry glock 17's and I think they can request 19's

 

[12many]

I thought the Indiana State Police switched to the Sig 227 in .45ACP

I don't know who that guy is, but he has my same philosophy on firearms (for the most part, since I'm a huge fan of different rifle actions). That's why my handguns are the Glock 17, 19, and 26. Everything pretty much works for everything except my light is only mounted to the 17 (the holsters I buy specifically for the 19 will fit the 26, but the 17 holsters won't fit the smaller two unless I add a light).

I think that's an unbagging.
