My county Sheriff's Department only got "standard issued equipment" in 2008. Prior to that, it was bring what you have. They gave us stipends to buy gun belts, uniforms, and vests.
In 2008, we got Glock 23's (gen 3) in 40 S&W each with 6 mags (a total of 20 units for our 15 man department). 6 Mossberg 590's with Surefire fore ends (for our cruisers and the courthouse) and 6 Semi auto M4 carbines with AimPoint T1 micros, "Gansta grips," Surefire lights and 6 30 rnd windowed Pmags per carbine (also for our cruisers and the courthouse). We had "semi-standardized" on the Glock 23 and the SIG 229 back in 2000 (with everyone buying their own) and then authorized the .357 SIG round about a year later. Older deputies (like myself) were permitted to retain their SIGs if they chose too. Newer deputies were required to carry the Glock 23. Everyone must carry an issued Glock 23 now.
