All police departments have different regulations. Mostly the H&K Glock seventeen but a couple of men in my department modified it to a glock 18 under approval. Most policemen have glocks, and things such as m16's or shotguns. But the main weapon or sidearm in some cases is a glock. My department also issues one m16 fr eveyone in the car usually two m16's in the trunk. And some in the township next to us carry spas 12. Or other one barrel shotguns

The choice of a backup weapon is universally the officer's choice. Some will choose to carry, others will not; but few (if any) departments address what that weapon will be.

Actually, many departments mandate what can or can't be carried. Here in the city where I live, (city) officers can only carry a Smith and Wesson 642 or 442 in .38 special as on duty backup. Additionally, if officers wants to carry off duty, they can only carry their on duty guns. If they want to carry anything besides that, department policy requires them to obtain a state issued handgun carry permit (the same one non-police officers must obtain to carry a gun).
