Unarmed Police
:I've provided cites and the conditions under which the various forces go unarmed - generally, all uniformed Police on regular patrol duty are unarmed, but there are obviously special armed squads in each country. [[User:NormanTebbitt|NormanTebbitt]] 13:29, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

== Unarmed Police ==
Generally police are unarmed because there is simply no need for armed police. Armed criminals are not present generally in the UK or Ireland and thus police do not normally need a gun to carry out their duties, which would make arming a ferocious waste of money.
