Nice pistols for sure.
(McLean, VA – August 10, 2021) Following a highly competitive and rigorous qualification, FN America, LLC is pleased to announce that the FN 509 MRD-LE has been chosen by the Los Angeles Police Department as their new duty pistol. The FN 509 is a capable and versatile handgun platform that delivers rapid, precision fire in any environment. Officers training on marksmanship, tactical maneuvers and precision target engagements now have a more accurate and reliable sidearm, proven by the LAPD to perform with a wide variety of duty-rated handgun optics and ammunition.

LAPD like large forces have had many handguns over the years, IIRC Bill Braatan brought in Glocks.

Last I read, Fabrique Nationale (Herstal, Belgium) is owned by the Regional Government of Walloonia, Belgium which is the French speaking area of that country. FN or FNH makes quality firearms, I assume LAPD got a very good deal.

FN is a world class small arms manufacturer and the 509 is a world class pistol. Some may not prefer it, but you'd have a hard time convincing me they made any kind of "mistake" in their choice.
When it comes to the big names, none of them make a "bad" pistol; they're all very good.
