A serious question, do security guards there, ie the ones who drive money around in Armourgard cars  to deliver payrolls, collect bank takings etc there have sidearms? 

 

 Short answer , no .

Not half as many as you think. It's still a small percentage.

Spot on Jamie , when I was doing the kitting up for Avon and Somerset I did the ARV's too .

To the best of my memory we had 4 or 5 spread over the force area , so each major traffic

department would have one , certainly only in performance vehicles and probably not all out on

the road at the same time but certainly 1 or 2 would be .

Has anyone asked your police what they'd rather be armed with?

 This from a Wiki article ,

 Surveys by the Police Federation of England and Wales have continued to show police officers' considerable resistance to routine arming. Although in the Federation's most recent (2017) Officer/Arming survey, 66% of respondents were against the routine arming of police compared to 82% in 2006.
