Hi everybody. I'm currently a college student majoring in criminal justice with an emphasis on law enforcement.
The assignment for one of my criminal justice classes is on police weapons. I'm focusing it on police rifles; types in use, policies on when they can be used, ammunition, optics, etc. I'd like to find some police agencies that issue, or allow the use of personally owned rifles, besides the Ar-15 and Mini 14. They're a great rifles, but I think it would be more encompassing if I could write about at least a few other rifles. I've heard of some depts. using the M1a Scout, Los Altos CA I think. Alos others like the FAL, m1 carbine, or just about anything other than the Mini 14 or Ar-15 as I think it would make for a boring read to only list those two. Does anybody have any information on different rifles in use by police departments? A specific dept. would be helpful too so I could email them for some more info.
Thanks
