I'm an officer on a rural department in the midwest. I seem to be the only "gun nut" in the department (less than 10 officers). So as someone else pointed out this forum is going to be skewed. As the "gun nut" I am whole-heartedly for the arming of reponsible citizens. Even in a small town we (Police) can't be everywhere at once, therefore that means that we are usually not at the scene of a violent crime when it actually happens. When the SHTF, seconds count. Unless Law Enforcement stumbles across a violent crime, they don't get the call until it's already taken place.
I can't say for sure if the other guys in my department agree with my stance or not. I could probably name a couple that would be leery of more CCW's.
