BPD officers nowadays use Glock 22s in real life. Lieutenant Al Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) briefly uses one in the episode "Fallen Heroes". In the episode "Fallen Heroes", Junior Bunk (Mekhi Phifer) takes a detective's Glock from his desk and uses it to kill three police officers in the Homicide Squadroom. He then continues firing at other officers and detectives before being shot and killed. Of an interesting note, while most detectives fire their weapon using a two-handed grip, Detective Frank Pembleton often fires his Glock one-handed. Detectives Munch and Felton carry their Glocks in shoulder holsters, while all other detectives carry them in paddle holsters.
