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.
They will have some determination in what they use as their backup piece, but they'll be limited to whatever the department issues as their service sidearm.
depends on what you mean by officers (military, navy, police, airforce) but 2 very common WWII revolvers were the webley and the enfield in various models
Yes they do. They carry the X26
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.
That generally depends on the regulations of the department that the detective works for. Some police departments require a certain model of sidearm, while others are more relaxed about the sidearm requirements.
Glock 31 .357 sig pistol is the current sidearm of the NJ State Police.
The same authority that enables them to carry firearms.
Some kind of Beretta 96. They also are in the process of switching to a Sig Sauer of some type.
police officers can do whatever the hell they want, as can anyone else, as long as they dont get caught
(in the US) Law Enforcement officers have always been armed.
THey are called "Sim" (simulated) rounds, and are fired out of a standard issue police sidearm with a modified barrel. It contains a paint capsule instead of a lethal projectile.
