Curious to know what ammo law enforcement agencies are issuing or advising for short barreled 9mm semi-auto handguns.
Now, in 2022.

Everything is going heavy for caliber and subsonic in bullets designed to open at subsonic speeds.
As far as I know.

I believe the 147 grain V Crowns are what I saw most of the LEO guys buying up at the pistol course I attended in Epping. That's also what I carry in my P365. I load my own when I can get them. I keep them loaded in my wife's Shield 2.0 as well.
Full sized is probably the V Crown 124s ... they make a +P version as well.
I gotta say I've been getting some incredible results with some 124 RMR Nukes I loaded ... very similar, if not equal-to, the V Crowns.
I don't think you can go wrong with the 147 or 135 HydraShoks either. They perform well in the 950-1050 range.

Now, in 2022. I do not know what police use, but you want ammo with bullets designed to open up at lower velocities. One example would be Speer short barrel ammo.

As far as I know. Sounds sort like a .38 Special

From what I recall starting out with lower velocity means less velocity lost per shorter barrel length. For example .357 looses more velocity then .38 Special when one reduces barrel length. I suppose this means with heavier subsonic projectile slight velocity loss will not reduce bullet expansion.

Same here, except I purchased about 700 rounds of the +P version........is a snappy round out of the Sig P365.
