SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - The Springfield Police Department was provided with some new weapons Tuesday, courtesy of Springfield-based gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson.
Every Springfield police officer will carry the new Smith & Wesson .40 caliber M&P sidearm. Smith & Wesson hopes this effort will help to protect police and city residents.
The new weapons are being provided with no cost to Springfield taxpayers.
"It's important to us to have our guns in as many officers' hands as we can, and especially for the Springfield P.D., since we know they're protecting the families of our employees and we like to have the employees build the guns for the officers of the city," said Leland Nichols, the Senior Vice President of Global Sales for Smith & Wesson.
Springfield police commissioner William Fitchet along with four deputy chiefs received a "special edition" of the .40 caliber M&P service weapon on Tuesday.
