I wanna say the NYPD is still using 9mm Glocks...can't remember if they're 19s or 17s.
Many in my area issue 9mm or allow it's carry, but they also allow other optional calibers. NYPD is larger than many armies and allows SIG-Sauer P226 DAO, Glock 19 and S&W 5946 in 9mm.
LAPD allows 9mm, Long Beach allows it, LA Sheriffs issue Beretta 92fs but allow certain 45acp DA autoloaders. San Diego also allows 9mm.
40S&W does seem to be the thing to have nowadays though in LE circles.

Albuquerque PD issues the Glock 17, but officers are allowed to carry other weapons/calibers that they can show proficiency with.

Can't tell since all I've seen on the street are holstered. However, I can tell you they are Berettas and Glocks.

Not for a couple of years now. I think it was 2002 or 2003 when they transitioned over to USP Compacts in .40SW. Chesapeake Sheriff's Office issues Glock 19s or 17 (9mm for those who are Glock ignorant).
Norfolk, VA uses 9mm (+P+ if I'm not mistaken).
VA Beach also issues 9mm Glocks.
Portsmouth, VA? Don't know, but I think they're still using 9mm. Last time I saw a Portsmouth LEO, he was sporting a Glock in his holster.
Suffolk, VA is still using 9mm Beretta 92s last I heard.

Orlando Police Department mainly uses Sig 226 in 9mm. This is from a friend who is one of their training officers.

9mm?
From what I've been able to see, looks like Galveston PD allows 9mm (glock 19 or 17).
Also seen cocked and locked 1911's tho

I am pretty sure that Chicago PD still uses 9mm sidearms.
This is interesting, and thanks for the responses.
Maybe it's just the caliber nerd in me, but I would really like to see a listing of handguns/caliber/ammo type for the entire country, that would make for some interesting reading.
I know that the Dept of Homeland Defence has ordered a whole bunch of H&K P2000s and P2000SKs in .40 and 9mm. I'm guessing that the SKs will be the 9mm variety but I don't know which departments specifically will be issued with them.

Border Patrol is in the very slow process of making the switch from the Beretta 96 Brigadier to the .40 P2000. I'm not sure about other agencies.

LAPD gives their street cops the choice of 9mm .40 S&W or .45ACP. They can have it in either a Smith and Wesson or a Beretta. My friend in the LAPD says most of his co-workers have chosen a .40 or .45 with very few still using the 9mm.

Now that is interesting. Do you happen to know what model Beretta that is? I wasn't aware Beretta offered a gun chambered in .357 (although I imagine getting a .357 for a 96 isn't hard, it would certainly violate the warranty - something PDs are very reluctant to do). Maybe some kind of custom order. I'd be interested in knowing how these are holding up if they're aluminum framed guns.
