How much duty ammo, how many spare sidearms, shotguns, patrol rifles? It's time to look at "False Dawn" 2013, and dust off the zombie notes. what is available to desperate city officials, or looting survivors using your professional opinion? For our foreign brethren, any suggestions, UK AFO van loadouts, etc.

Not very complete or accurate, but interesting.

looked at PA. Most cities or counties in my region not even listed.

Pittsburgh is listed as authorizing Glock 17 (9mmP) or Glock 23 (.40 S&W) when the police there have been issued the Glock 19 (9mmP) for nearly 2 decades.

Lists Erie as having an unknown 9mmP. This was the ill fated (and completely unreliable) Ruger P85. This was replaced by the Glock 19 (9mmP). in the 90's.

.40 S&W is improperly listed as 10mm X 22mm. This is the 10mm Auto. The .40 S&W round is 10mm X 19mm (exactly the same length as a 9mmP).

Interesting, I though the property room would resemble a marauder cache, but wanted an idea of what a station might have on hand.

my small town in western NY had a total of nine police - all armed (until well into the 1990's) with revolvers and pump action shotguns, until they finally got Glock's around 2000

There are 170 Police Services in Canada, I sure the State of Calforina has more than that.

The number could be higher if count Sheriffs(Different function in Canada), Highway Patrols, and Conservation Units

Just as a matter of interest, as I have some scattered stuff I scavenged from assorted sites of unconfirmed reliability, what sort of equipment other than weapons does a 'typical' (or local to wherever you are) copper have ...

* On their persons

* Mounted on/in their vehicle

* In the trunk of their vehicle

It's sort of peripherally important for an adventure scenario I am writing.

I realise most of you will probably have info on US Police, but I'd be interested in Canadian and European forces as well (and, really, Police from anywhere)

I mean, do they wear body armour all the time, as some TV shows suggest? What sort of radios do they have - Car mounted or only personal sets? Do they have old style Handcuffs or the newer disposable Cable Tie-like ones, or both? Is there a First Aid kit in the Boot (Trunk)?

That sort of nuts and bolts stuff.

Other than weapons,

on my duty belt I carry 2 sets of steel handcuffs, 2 sets of rubber gloves, a radio, and a flashlight. Some of my coworkers carry tourniquets.

in the squad car, I have a radio, flex cuffs, fire extinguisher, Kevlar helmet, first aid kit, flash light, gas mask, computer and ticket books.

We are required to wear our body armor at all times. I work for a suburban department outside of Chicago and this is a fairly typical load out for this area.

Weapon wise, we carry Glock 17s and at least 3 mags, pepper spray, a taser, and a baton. Back up guns are optional. We have Ar15s in the trunk and can request a shotgun from the armory when needed.
