Police officers are at a high risk of sustaining gunshot or stab wounds to their extremities. Arterial blood loss can result in unconsciousness within minutes and death shortly thereafter. Often, police officers work alone and in areas where emergency medical response can be delayed. As a result, many police officers carry specialized tourniquets developed for the U.S. military that can be applied with one hand in order to stop blood loss quickly and allow the officer to survive long enough to reach emergency medical care.
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.
Off-duty police officers are allowed to carry guns at Disney World, as long as they follow the park's guidelines and regulations.
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.
