Most police officers are carrying 9mm Luger these days, but I strongly suspect that that has more to do with the fact that 9mm ammo is significantly cheaper yet still adequate, not because more powerful cartridges offer no tangible advantages whatsoever.

Furthermore, I can't help but wonder how the officers themselves feel about the switch, because obviously they don't have any say in what they're issued. I've heard that a lot of officers were unhappy when they had to trade in their .40s for 9mms, often commenting on how they felt more confident carrying a .40 and how they resented that while guys who didn't have to put their own lives in danger had the most influence over what they were issued. I wouldn't be surprised if the Texas DPS Troopers feel the same.
