Most law enforcement departments today use the .40 S&W.

With the FIB going back to the 9mm, departments nationwide have been dropping the .40 Short and Weak in droves.

I'd challenge that "most law enforcement departments today" assertion.

I haven't heard of a single agency in Alaska that's gone to the 9mm. It's more likely places with a "diverse" police force have switched to 9mm. NYPD would be a perfect example.

Agreed. Many many police departments have returned to 9mm after the landmark 2015 FBI study which destroyed the “stopping power” myth of 40 cal and 45 acp.
