I spoke to a female Bobbie who was here in Las Vegas on vacation. She said that police there go through three tiers. First is baton/spray only. Second is taser. Third (competitive I believe) is armed. But even if you qualify as armed, your day to day may not be such... you may be assigned to a response car where the firearms have to be unlocked remotely by a superior. Most police, royal guards, are unarmed.

Well read about it straight from you might say 'the horse's mouth" at the UKs National Police Chiefs' Council page (http://www.npcc.police.uk/NPCCBusinessAreas/ReformandTransformation/Reformandtransformation.aspx), or you could go the indirect route and read it from a news organization, how about "The Guardian" (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jun/23/police-chiefs-to-discuss-offering-guns-to-all-frontline-officers).
