This can vary widely according to the needs and requirement of the agency involved. However, overall, probably the most commonly used caliber handgun in use by civilian (and military) law enforcement is the 9 millimeter. VERY few law enforcement agencies utilize a revolver as their standard-issue sidearm any longer, and the semi-automatic pistols have taken over this role. While MANY arms manufacturers produce handguns in this caliber, the Glock is among the most common.

What handgun does the navy seals carry?
The official sidearm of the US Military is the Beretta M9, 9mm Parabellum pistol. I would imagine that at the level of operations the Navy SEALS are at, the individual can carry the sidearm of their choice. This may well be the M9, but another popular pistol is the M1911A1, .45ACP which was the official US Military sidearm from 1911 until the 1980's (before the M9). I don't know of any restriction regarding their choices. I doubt many would carry a .22LR Derringer though :)

How do the police uniforms in England differ from police uniforms in America?
Because we both have different styles of policing. The American police uniform is designed to be able to carry a sidearm on their utility belt whereas the British police aren't. It also goes back years ago to what the first police uniforms where like for British or American officers. Britain had a tunic and the signature high helmet with metal logo on it and we still have that today here, whereas police in the US usually wear a "garrison" hat or, in some cases, a 10-gallon hat.
