I agree with john1963 to a point. Training and knowing what to do plus speed of action are only a temporary fix. After that accuracy is what will stop the threat. No caliber is a cure all and all persons cannot utilize all caliber's. The progressive Departments have an issue weapon but allow officer's to chose their own weapon from an approved list of manufacturers and caliber's if they prefer. The Sheriff's Office here allows 38, 357,9mm,40and 45 also 380 for UC's. They issue 12GA shotguns to each car and if the Deputy can qualify with it they may carry their own rifle if it is on the approved list.
