I dont believe there is one... I don't believe there is either. I think the ones dubbed this are sold at a discounted price to officers though.

Officers and Departments are not required to pay the Federal Excise Tax on firearms used for on-duty purposes. Guns sold by departments or retained by officers after separation from the department are subject to the federal excise tax at that time.
At one time, Glock offered special lighter triggers for LEO use only, but at present those are no longer available.
Either of these situations could have caused the terminology to be introduced. But today, the guns are the same.

As a fireguy, I only know of the places that discount them to us. I'm not sure of any differences, except I don't think the .380 is available here?

I think that when they had the 10 rnd magazine restrictions the glocks for LE still had the higher capacity magazine and were stamped law enforcement.

Law Enforcement Glocks have Blue label on plastic case and come with 3 mags vs red/pink label and 2 mags for regular retail glocks.

It would help us alot if we knew where you seeing/reading "law enforcement" glock, there's been differences through out the years that depend on which generation/timeframe.

Same guns as normal folk. Come with 3 mags and we usually catch a small price break. The magazine size is old news from years ago. Normal folk can get the same size etc.

They have a higher capacity and come with more magazines. They are called, "blue label" pistols. Only military or law enforcement can buy them new.

The ONLY difference is you get 1 extra mag, unless it's a sub-compact then you still only get 2 mags. Anybody that is considered Homeland Security(fire, police, EMS, FBI, CIA, Border patrol, etc.) can buy them @ the discounted price.

My mistake on the capacity, I thought they had the extended mags come standard on those? I realized that more than the military and law enforcement could get them, I just consider FBI, CIA, BP, etc. to all fall under those categories. My bad!

My fiancee has the state seal of Texas on one side of the slide and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department one the other side of her Glock 22. Really slick looking.
