Unarmed police around the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police#Weapons

Police do not carry guns in - United Kingdom - Iceland - Ireland -
Norway - New Zealand - Malta - (mostly island nations)

--------------------------------------------

China apparently has 2 types of cops - regular unarmed cops - plus
Armed Police (who also operate the FDs) - since 2006 the regular
unarmed cops have been given gun training and some guns - but there is
just 1 emergency phone number for police (so they must be functionally
consolidated)

regular police in China historically have not carried guns
