TVA Police is a fully commissioned federal law enforcement agency. It was TVA Public Safety until the mid 90s and then has been divided into several different organizations. I spent a few years at TVA and never heard of a Colt in the inventory. Please share more info and pictures if you have them. They had S&W 15s before the move to different semi autos depending on the office you worked. I had a P226 but some had polymer pistols.
