What goes into a department's choice of duty weapon or allowed duty weapon out of the pretty vast spectrum out there is probibly only 50-60% about the actual quality / ease of use of the weapon and the rest is about training, danger real or percived that either the troops face or what is considered dangerous to do by someone who does not him or herself wear the uniform, whish that it made more sense but it does not and this goes well beyong guns --- anything the government buys it this way unless it is strictly in the hands of the end user which is very rare.
