Police carry guns primarily for self-defense and to protect the public in potentially dangerous situations. The presence of firearms can deter crime and help officers respond effectively to violent incidents. Additionally, armed officers are trained to handle situations involving firearms or other weapons, ensuring they can maintain safety and order. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a sense of security and uphold the law in the communities they serve.
If the owner of the guns is dead, you can not get them from the police not being the owner.

The only police to use firearms in the UK, are specialised groups such as the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, or special teams within territorial police forces. When the metropolitan police force was established, officers did not carry guns.
If you take the example of the UK (where guns are banned), the normal police on duty on the streets are not armed with guns. There are UK police trained to use and carry guns but they only do so when responding to a situation where a criminal is seen to be armed. Based on this tried example, is is clear that if guns were banned effectively, the police would not need to carry weapons.
