Galveston County District Attorney’s Office has selected Liberty Ammunition for duty ammunition.

Chief executive Gary Ramey said the company has spoken with several Texas law enforcement agencies, many of which already issue its products. The office wanted lighter duty rounds with greater stopping power, and Liberty Ammunition supplied them. He called support for the department a privilege given its demanding work.

The firm makes high-performance self-defense ammunition that penetrates barriers then ruptures in tissue so energy stays in the target, and it states the loads meet FBI protocols.
