I don't know. I'd like it if it could have some kind of niche even if it's a pretty small one though so I'm hoping we can come up with some realistic benefits to help it out.

That's part of the problem really. If it's just a bad choice on the weapons list that's a shame especially if one of the players likes tonfa but it's not a big problem. However it's frustrating for a PC to have to put up with gear that is mechanically bad though if they are a member of that police force. It's much more pleasant for the PC if their assigned gear has some kind of niche of superiority even if it's overall worse than other choices.
