The Purpose is so that if they are around some kind of situation they can take control.....without their firearm...it is much harder to exert control over some situations.
Not to mention they are POLICE....as far as I am concerned they are never off duty. Why can you not trust a police officer with a firearm when he is not on duty? You look at that poor officer in Airdrie who got the **** kicked out of him but two punks. Don't think that would have happened if he had his tools with him.
