In most jurisdictions, knives are not standard issue weapons for police officers in the same way that firearms or less-lethal options like batons and pepper spray are. Police officers are typically equipped with a standard set of tools that may include a firearm, handcuffs, radio, baton, and other non-lethal equipment based on the policies of the specific law enforcement agency. The primary focus of a police officer's toolkit is on tools and weapons that are effective for self-defense, ensuring public safety, and enforcing the law. Firearms, such as handguns or, in some cases, shotguns or rifles, are the primary lethal weapons issued to police officers. Non-lethal options like batons, pepper spray, and tasers are also commonly carried to handle situations where the use of lethal force may not be warranted. While knives are not standard issue weapons, some police officers may carry utility or rescue knives as part of their personal gear. These knives are often used for practical purposes, such as cutting seatbelts in emergency situations or opening packages. However, these knives are not typically considered primary weapons. It's important to note that the specific equipment issued to police officers can vary by jurisdiction and agency policies. Additionally, laws regarding the carrying of knives by law enforcement officers may differ, and officers are typically trained in the appropriate use of force based on the policies and laws of their jurisdiction.
