Although several foreign police agencies have made the move to the M&P platform, the Belgian police adoption of the M&P is quite a coup. When you realize that Belgium is the home of FN Herstal, this coup is even more amazing.

This foreign agency win seems to follow the trend with LE agencies in the US. According to Smith & Wesson's 2010 SEC filing, the M&P platform is now winning LE and security agency contracts at a rate of 80%.

Excerpt from 2010 SEC filing by Mike Golden - President, CEO S&W
While we did see declines in certain pistol products, we also saw growth in other key areas, such as Walther products, tactical rifles and our premium products. Law-enforcement sales grew by 32% over the prior year. Our M&P pistols continue to win at a rate of over 80%, and our M&P tactical rifles win at a rate of over 90% when we compete for police and security agency business.
