in most cases, yes.
Not in the UK they don't ! The 'regular' police are limited to carrying a truncheon or baton, and a CS spray. Specialist (firearms) officers can carry hand-guns, automatic rifles and stun-guns.
British policemen and Irish gardai on regular patrol have been armed with batons and whistles for many years. They do, however, have the ability to call on an armed squad if the situation requires it. Japanese policemen are also mostly unarmed.
