Default Philadelphia Police Department Ammunition

I'm having a bit of trouble finding an answer using search...

Does anyone know, offhand, what ammunition is standard issue for the Philadelphia Police Department?

Thanks.

They don't carry guns. Don't you know guns are dangerous in Philly?

Honestly I don't know.

Nicely played.

I know that they're still issuing the Glock 17. And I know that they issued the Federal 9BP load (standard pressure 115gr JHP) load for years and years.

But I think they changed in recent years, though I'm not sure. That's why I ask

Hopefully one of the PPD folks will pop in with the answer.

They're still carrying Glock 17's to the best of my knowledge except for the few guys that carry wheelguns (I assume the guys that carry wheel guns are the older guys / top brass)

The SEPTA cops have switched to SigPro's though.

As for the ammunition, I'm not sure. I know a few Philly cops but not well enough to call them up and ask them. If I run into one at the range in the future I'll ask them.
