LATROBE POLICE CONSIDER NEW HANDGUNS

Police in Latrobe are considering a switch to new handguns. The Trib reports that Captain Rob Daerr said that the new Glock 9mm pistols would have advanced sighting optics and the ammunition would be cheaper to acquire. Latrobe police would trade in the .40-caliber weapons currently in their armory, for a quoted net cost of $13,887, according to city manager Terry Carcella. He suggested using some of the city’s pandemic recovery funding for the purchase.
