Not to get too far off topic, but I work in a very built-up area and we are using Federal LE223T1 55gr JSP.
Back on topic, after my experiences in LE thus far, I would refuse to work at an agency that did not allow officers to carry patrol rifles. It sounds caddy, but it says a lot about the agency and where officer safety and desire to accomplish the mission rank. I'm thrilled to hear stuff like this. On a hot call involving weapons, I feel naked without my AR, and that's not a knock on my ability with a pistol...it's just common sense and tactics. Seeing firsthand the accuracy differences between both when the SHTF, I'm a bit skewed.
Were officers able to purchase their own rifles and carry them in Wichita prior to this?
