Of the 49 departments surveyed, 36 responded. Findings show that six States have armed all of their patrol troopers with 9mm semi-automatic autoloaders. Two States are presently arming all recruits with semi-automatics and are gradually phasing in present officers. One State arms its regular troopers with .357 Magnum revolvers but its felony officers with semi-automatics. Several States arm their tactical, undercover, and Criminal Investigation Division (CID) officers with semi-automatics but uniformed officers with revolvers. Of the States that permit officers to carry a second or backup weapon, none that issue revolvers as a primary weapon will allow automatics as a secondary or off-duty gun. Thirteen States have a proposed change to semi-automatics under study or implementation. A breakdown of State-by-State comments and results is included.
