Operations Manual firearms policy: officers in the (optional) patrol rifle program are issued 'A Colt AR-15 rifle' with a tactical light and optics (models not named); department rifles are restricted to FN- or Colt-made AR-15s in .223. The separate .308 system is not entered. Duty handguns are officer-supplied from an approved-manufacturer list (Glock, S&W M&P, Springfield XD), so no handgun is entered.
