Their official stance may be close-mouthed, but until 2007-2008, a lot of Iraqi security forces were equipped through US purchasing and the existence of a Special Inspector General for the Iraq Reconstruction means that a whole lot of that process was documented in publicly available reports.
Individual policemen are also unlikely to be all that cagy when discussing their issue weapon and ammunition with Coalition or US forces.
I was also hoping that any US ammunition companies that got a contract or subcontract to supply ammunition to the security forces might have bragged about the fact online. While partially true (see above), none of them saw fit to mention specific brands.
