Some countries do have unarmed police (though usually there are special armed units).
It works really well!
france, and UK i think, probably Spain.
Spain has many different police forces with different rules, but usually the cops you see on the street have a pistol on their hip and it’s typical to see bigger guns when they’re guarding something.
Guardia Civil makes up for it
What’s the definition of armed in this case? Firearms only, or does pepper spray also count?
I was talking about guns, but I think most don’t carry pepper spray either.
See e.g. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-where-police-do-not-carry-guns.html
Mmh, I see some mention of pepper spray. What most definitely carry are battons. Also can we talk about how god damn based Norway is, making Police a highly educated force with mandatory studies in ethics and sociology? That’s the way.
Some countries really understood it. Only with these things combined (as well as proper pay, healthcare etc) a police can be trusted with the right and privilege to enforce law. Still without daily gun carrying.
