My agency didnt issue anything... we had to buy everything. But the good news is that we could buy any gun we wanted as long as it was a blue steel, fixed sight, six shot revolver with a 4 inch barrel manufactured by Colt, S&W, and later Ruger. And we had a choice of holsters. Reguation fixed or regulation swivel. Mandatory loadout was the service revolver, 12 extra rounds, a pen holder, Regulation handcuff case, S&W or peerless handcuffs, Flashlight, wistle, white gloves, Baton (after 4PM) Day billet (Between 8am and 4pm)
Optional; slapper/blackjack, second gun, ballistic resistant vest, second set of handcuffs, pocket knife, P/38, camera.
By the time we went to auto pistols things had changed. Service pistol 30 extra rounds in two magazines, Handcuffs, flashlight, pen holder, gas mask, colapsable baton, or PR24 baton, latex gloves, and I guess a bunch more I never had to get. The vest is now mandatory.
