They're not allowed in the CG. Mainly because aside from TACLETs, LE personnel (which could be dozens of people at a larger unit) all draw from the same (smaller) pool of weapons. So basically, the gun you use today will likely be used by someone else tomorrow. Obviously, customization would be highly counter-productive.

I do not know if CGIS is allowed to use them as they fall under much different rules than the rest of us...

If anyone in our organization (either CG or CGIS) uses them, it would probably be the CGIS Commandant protection detail.
