I have a city-issued Glock (we received them in 1998)and it has received multiple services from the range staff and outside armorers over the years. Most of these were similar to what you see advertised for the former JCPD folks with personally owned service weapons. The city does not really lose out considering that when an officer with an issued weapon leaves the city sells it to its authorized Glock dealer (Kiesler's). If the officer left under favourable circumstances like retirement, they are offered the opportunity to purchase it from Kiesler's at less than market price (still too high). This will also be the case for the limited number of Glocks they are purchasing now. If you were not hired under the former city than stop worrying about what somebody else gets or doesn't get - if they want to keep their weapon than they will have to pay for it in the end - just like everyone else.
