Police Weapons in Selected Jurisdictions

You are subscribed to Legal Research Reports for Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.


The Law Library of Congress is proud to present a new report, Police Weapons in Selected Jurisdictions.

This report examines the weapons and equipment generally at the disposal of law enforcement officers in several countries around the world. It also provides, for each of these countries, a brief overview of the rules governing the use of weapons by law enforcement officers. Precise and reliable information on the weapons and equipment of some countries' police forces was often difficult to find.

A comparative summary and bibliography is provided.

This report is one of many prepared by the Law Library of Congress available at http://www.loc.gov/law/help/current-topics.php.
