Some how I don't see Chicago PD authorizing the .44 Mag as a duty weapon. I suspect, .45 is as big caliber wise as they allow. Some PDs give some choices as to what LEOs can use on duty, as well as off, some don't. Here's ChitHole Cago:

“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
Plenty of examples like that. About 10 years ago 40 minutes from me homeowner shoots an intruder. Two rounds of 220gr 45acp to the upper stomach area. Cops found the guy wondering around the next morning. In pain but not in serious condition.
Cop in MN tries to stop a mall theft. Guy turns and shoots the cop 7 times with a 45, two of which hit him in the face. After a brief struggle the cop kills the thief with a 9mm. There were pictures and an interview on YouTube a few years ago. The 45 call holes in his face looked like 22lr

It has to do with the energy imparted to the object hit and a 45 ACP will have more energy all day long than a 9mm. Bump up the speed to the same as 9mm (not impossible as I mentioned earlier) and that is a LOT more energy than a 9mm.
If baddie is wearing a vest that 9mm is doing nothing to it or the chest behind it. You might as well be throwing rocks...
The "energy dump" hypothesis in typical duty pistol loads was debunked a long time ago, as in decades. The energy between them is minimal, and again, the seminal doc to read to understand the topic is "Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness" by Special Agent UREY W.
