Halifax Regional Police Selects GLOCK G45 COA as New Duty Pistol Platform
OTTAWA, ON – May 14, 2026 – RAMPART, Canada’s leading supplier of operational equipment to Military and Law Enforcement end users, is proud to announce that Halifax Regional Police (HRP), the largest municipal police service in Atlantic Canada, has selected the GLOCK G45 COA as its new duty pistol platform following a competitive evaluation process focused on safety, reliability, and ease of use.
The new platform includes the GLOCK G45 Gen 5 COA pistol equipped with the Aimpoint COA red dot optic system incorporating an exclusive A-CUT mounting solution, Streamlight TLR-7 X weapon-mounted lights, Safariland duty holsters, and GLOCK G45T training pistols. The transition will also include instructor and armourer training to support long-term deployment of the new system across the service.
The G45 COA platform represents the next evolution of duty pistols, combining the proven GLOCK Gen 5 operating system with a purpose-built optic solution engineered in collaboration with Aimpoint. The A-CUT mounting interface provides an integrated, low-profile optic mounting system designed specifically for duty use.
With this adoption, Halifax Regional Police joins a number of Atlantic Canadian agencies currently utilizing GLOCK pistol platforms through Rampart, including Fredericton Police Force Tactical Unit, Summerside Police Service, Kensington Police Service, Kentville Police Service, and Grand Falls Police Force. GLOCK pistols are currently deployed by over 90% of Canadian Law Enforcement agencies at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels, further reinforcing the platform’s widespread adoption across Canada.
“We are proud to support Halifax Regional Police in this important transition,” said Mike Klein, President of Rampart. “The selection of the GLOCK G45 COA reflects the continued evolution of modern Law Enforcement pistol programs toward integrated optics-ready systems built around reliability and performance. We look forward to supporting HRP throughout the transition and beyond.”
