Not even police are allowed to use hollow points? Sorry but a lot of police departments use hollow points. In fact some departments require the use of hollow points because they’re more likely to break apart in case of misses and don’t ricochet as much.

You are assuming the writer means U.S. police departments but it was posted on a U.K. website.

From what I could find, 9mm FMJ is still the most common in European police departments.

I hope all police use hollow point bullets for duty. When shooting someone to defend yourself, you want the most effective stopping power to stop the threat, and no one needs the over penetration of full metal jacket projectiles with possible injuries to non targeted persons and damage to property.
