Some agencies asked for heavier trigger pulls however normal Glock triggers are 5.5 lbs. Out of the box they are ok. Other manufactures are guilty of this but not Glock.

It's not the weight, it's the length of pull. The Glock was marketed to police agencies from the beginning with the selling point that the long miserable trigger pull would mean less accidental shootings of suspects held at gunpoint. Prior to that, they were using DA/SA pistols and the transition between the pulls often led to accidental shootings if the pistol had already been fired, or if the cop had thumbed the hammer back.
Glocks are specifically designed to have a bad trigger to reduce civil liability. Training can overcome that bad trigger, but it's still a bad trigger.
