Massad Ayoob; FHP....
Gun writer & tactics instructor Mas Ayoob wrote a few months ago that a contact in the main HQ of the Florida Highway Patrol informed him their new SOP for all sworn troopers was to allow certain brands/types of ARs/M4s if the troopers purchased and qualified with it.
That seems fair. Id get a .300AAC Blackout with a KAC(Knights Armament) or Surefire surpressor & EOtech scope. I might add a white light with strobe too if I were a working FHP trooper.
I'd want a surpressed rifle in a caliber larger than 5.56x45mm(5.56mmNATO) so the muzzle flash didn't give away my position in low light & I could hear better/yell commands without any deafness/hearing loss.
A 7.62 or 6.8x40mm wouldn't be bad, but that might be too much in a patrol rifle.
