Nearly 7 of 10 cops surveyed use Glocks on the job
A survey of some 6,000 law enforcement officers from across the country conducted by a police website found that some 68 percent of all respondents carried Glocks and, further, an impressive 61 percent would choose the gun if given an option.
A survey conducted earlier this year by PoliceOne, a law enforcement website, of their vetted members asked a series of questions about their duty sidearms. The surprising results found that the overall majority carried Glocks with 3 carried for every Sig Sauer, about 4 for every Smith and Wesson, and 8 for every Beretta. This backs up the company’s often-cited claim that approximately “65 percent of police departments in America already put a GLOCK police pistol in between them and the problem.”
