Interesting that you say the mp5 is a weaker alternative.
In terms of wound cavitation and penetration you are both right and wrong, an M4A1 firing 5.56x45mm is more likely to penetrate body armour, however it is a lighter round, and the availability of hollowpoint in the 9x19mm calibre for the mp5 can cause significantly more wound cavitation.
Another reason the police and special forces use the mp5 is due to what is called over penetration, this is where the round exits the first target and hits another, maybe a hostage, or penetrates surrounding walls and enters areas outside the scene.
SWAT teams in America are no more heavily armed than any specialist police unit in Europe, and your criminals are not anymore hardened than those encountered in the UK or elsewhere, we have just as much gang crime, a few years back we had officers shot with an AK47 and attacked with hand grenades. On a side-note police here are actually carrying everything from g36c's to SIG carbines.
But I'm afraid I can't see a reason to arm them with an m4 in server it's a weak weapon, does much less damage than the ak and the UMP, and the mp5/UMP are both available to the police and fit the role adequately, so it's a -support from me.
