The US Park Police are carrying it (9mm), and the National Park Service is issuing it to new officers. Current Rangers have the option to stick with the Classic line (P220, P226, P229 in 9, 40, and 45), but from here forward, it will be all 320 9mm's.
A number of Seasonal LE Rangers up my way are still issued good old P228's.
They get issued whatever individual parks have in the safe at HQ. P228's are the most common because that is what the NPS went with initially for the first year or so. After that, officers received their choice of 220, 225, 226, 228, and 229. Parks retained the several 228's for use by seasonals.
