The key is generally unarmed.

UK police by and large don’t have firearms, but there are firearms officers who can be dispatched like any other officer. NZ police have firearms in a safe in the boot of their cars.

TlDr: there are firearms, but they’re not strapped to every idiots hip ready to pop off a few rounds at someone who so much as farts in the wrong direction.
