A lot of departments switched away from DA/SA pistols like the P220 because they require more training to use safely. After the first shot, the trigger is much lighter. If the user doesn't decock before holstering, there's a significant risk of an unintentional discharge. It's a similar story for single action only pistols like the 1911. If that safety isn't on, the light trigger increases the chance of accidents. With striker-fired and double action only pistols, there is no need to decock or engage/disengage the safety, which is great for safely re-holstering after a stressful situation.
I can see both sides of this. It makes sense for departments to have blanket policies, but it also makes sense why she was so upset by the change.
