Do any L.E. agencies use the M1A as primary patrol rifle?

I know the majority of Law enforcement agencies are using AR15's, M4's and pistol caliber carbines as their patrol rifle. My question is have you heard of any agency using the M1A as a issue patrol rifle? I know some agencies are pretty lenient as far as service weapons, then others have a set standard. Looking to hear some replies, thanks Billy

ADDENDA to Post # 21.

A few weeks ago, I was shopping at GT Distributers in Austin & ran into/started talking to a "brand spanking new" Ranger Private.
(Was I ever THAT young-looking?? - To me, he looks like he should be playing HS football.)

He said that several Rangers, who are assigned to the TX/Mexico border area, are issued/carrying M14 rifles in "standard GI dress" daily.
(The young Ranger will be on the Border Recon Team.)
