Yes Broadly speaking, however some departments still allow revolvers in 38, and a Game Warden few years ago whom still had a .22 s&w model 53 but generally for patrol officers anymore as it was fathered in and he was a 40+ veteran. However in my county they have to go through the basic course (.40 s&w) and be on patrol for 4 years before they can apply for a special duty carry, which includes S&W 620p(.38) , S&W 686p (.38), S&W 986 (9mm), S&W MODEL 25 (.45LC), S&W 327 TR88 (Only S&W BUT NOT LIMITED TO) (I know it is not relevant most of it i just want to add it.)
