As a Police officer myself I think I can shed a little light on the reasons why Police officers hesitate when the necessity to use force arises. My experience does not involve my use of firearms as I am a UK officer and thus not armed but I think it may still be relevant. It really comes down...

On my last visit to Florida I visited Bass Pro Outdoor World. I haven't been left stunned by many stores before but this place, coming from the UK, was incredible. Very friendly staff who must have curious Brits in everyday but still took the time to have a chat and when it became obvious that...

Actually the average sentence for murder in the UK is about 15years. Yes thats right 15 years! They refer to this as being "Life". Unfortunately they didn't specify the "Life" of what species of animal. I think 15 years is the average life span of a dog. There have been occasions when...

Hello from the UK, I am a 46 year old Police Officer of some 22 years service. Prior to that I was in the Royal Air Force Police for 6 years and the Territorial Army (sort of like your National Guard) for the two years prior to that. Shooting was always something that I could do well and...

To Odd_Job: With regards to the Met Police unit, I think its actually SO19, I can only comment on what I have seen on the news recently. I have seen them with G36C carbines and G17 pistols. As to the sniper weapons or ammunition I do not know. Our guys use 9mm SJHP rounds. I visited the Force...

I am a UK Police officer of some 22 years and have always been a staunch advocate of the arming of the Police in this country in the same manner as the rest of the planet and the right of UK citizens to own guns. This makes me something of a heretic in the eyes of some but the former idea...
