...most police aren't even gun guys, so what would the average non gun guy or gal officer even know about other weapons?

While some of your points are well taken, this one falls flat.
The "average non gun guy or gal officer" is absolutely and most certainly not the person making the firearms selection for a police department.
Most often, smaller departments tend to follow the lead of larger departments or national organizations who often devote a considerable amount of time and money to determining which weapon(s) and ammunition to choose for issue.
