I'm not a LEO and never have been. I do factor in what I perceive departments use but my info is based on blogs like THR and educated guesses as well as a lot of gelatin terminal performance studies.
For 115 gr. 9mm standard pressure I have settled on 115 gr. Gold Dot in my 'mouse guns'. For EDC 9mm it's 147 gr. HST +P tactical heavy for caliber and for home defense it's 165 gr. .40 S&W HST Tactical. These decisions were made before the Underwood screwdriver rounds came on the scene.
The video below just surfaced in my Youtube feed and it describes a poor situation in LE departments wrt. ammo selection. Just wondering what you guys think of this situation. Note that it's a 2016 video so things may have improved:
