It depends on the situation. When serving as a boat officer in a combat area, yes, they wear a pistol. In some small ships all personnel are issued a side arm in combat situations. Navy officers stationed with the Marine Corps will be expected to be armed (doctors and chaplains excepted).

What sidearm do police officers carry?

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.

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 :)
