Yes they do. They carry the X26
No they don't.It would be too easy for an inmate to steal the gun from the officer and kill somebody. Instead they carry peper spray or~and tazers.
police have been known to use tazers, hand guns, and shotguns The most common are 9mm pistols, knight sticks and tazers. I believe the Glock 9 is the most common firearm used by police.
Depends on the regulations where you are. Many Special Police Officers DO have the same authority as city or county police officers, but for specialized areas. Some of them DO carry firearms.
Yes, Japanese police are armed.
The same authority that enables them to carry firearms.
police officers can do whatever the hell they want, as can anyone else, as long as they dont get caught
It depends on the local department regulations. Locally to me, city officers carry a Sig 229, and county officers carry a Beretta 96D. Glock has a pretty large percentage of the market, as does Sig.
(in the US) Law Enforcement officers have always been armed.
It depends on the locality. Locally to me, the city officers carry a Sig 229M, county officers carry a Beretta 96D, and state troopers carry a S&W Sigma (I think...it may have changed). Each department sets its own regulations and policies for what its officers carry. Glocks are pretty common. I believe Glock holds about 60 percent of the police market.
The Police use Standard Baretta M9 Sidears Sorry, that is not correct. SOME police may use Beretta M9s, but all police do not. In the United States, each department sets its own requirements for what officers carry. In the city where I live, officers carry Sig 229s. In the county, officers carry Sig 226s. In another city near me, officers carry Glocks. In yet another city, officers carry H&Ks. All of those I mentioned, carry .40 S&W caliber. All that said, however, Glock is the most common. There are something like 4 millions police officers world wide that carry Glocks.
most police officers are required to carry a firearm at all times in the area of arrest power.
With the exception of the United Kingdom, all other European police agencies are armed.
