Most regular police officers in the UK do not carry guns. They carry ASP Extendable batons and pepper spray. Most areas, however, have a small number of armed police on call. These units are called the Armed Response Unit (mobile patrol police) or the Specialist Firearms Unit (proactive armed police). When there is a serious manhunt in progress which involves a firearm, various equipment such as; taser guns, Attenuating Electric Batons, bulletproof shields and body armour, MP5Ks and G36s, sniper rifles, Glock 17 pistols and armoured cars may be used depending on the situation. The Rothbury Manhunt is a clear example of this.

You have the armed police section but there is also the Serious Organised Crime Agency which is the equivalent to America's Federal Bureau of Investigation. I think in the near future though, nearly probably all police in the UK, excluding Northern Ireland because they're already have armed police, will carry taser guns.

And then there is Military Intelligence-5.
