As ofOct 15, 2026

Per May 2026 county solicitations.

Inferred: May 2026 county solicitations buy Glock 5th Generation Model 45 handguns and Glock training guns for the Department of Police, but no agency document states the G45 is the issued duty pistol. Confidence lowered from OFFICIAL to reflect that inference.
