What type of weapons do English bobbies use and carry?

English bobbies, or police officers in the UK, primarily carry non-lethal weapons, such as batons, handcuffs, and pepper spray. While the majority of officers are unarmed, some specialized units, like firearms officers, do carry firearms, including handguns. The emphasis is on de-escalation and community policing, reflecting a general preference for non-violent conflict resolution.
