Just a point of clarification to my previous statement...by policy our rifle is considered to be our primary weapon. The pistol on our duty belt is therefore considered to actually be our backup gun. That's how the agency justifies not allowing us to carry a true BUG.
Haha no...the only reason that thought is so outdated is that your patrol rifle is not always accessible and your side arm is with with at all times
We're instructed to take our rifle with us each time we get out of the vehicle. That doesn't always happen, though, as it really isn't practical.

For uniformed officers, I see no advantage of a Glock 23 over a Glock 22. Both have the same grip circumference, so the 23 doesn't fit a s[maller hand any better than the Glock 22. The Glock 22 has a larger sight radius and the longer grip gives it a larger magazine capacity.
lol the only department I see doing that is homeland security, or CBP working down south. Which makes sense, when your pulling over a truck at 2AM on some dirt road next to the boarder and your the only officer for 100miles, id want my AR with me to lol
Yeah, I've never heard of any other agency having such a policy, so I think it might be specific to USBP.
BTW, "boarder" is someone who snowboards, "border" is the thing I patrol .
