of course. Ordinary police arent armed in the UK, and the "special" teams that are are hopeless and should not have them (for example they gunned down an innocent Brazilian electrician on the tube a couple of years... and none of the thugs who shot the guy have even been sacked, let alone faced manslaughter or murder charges)
I firmly believe that only the army should be allowed to carry guns, and special army units should deal with crisis situations in civilian life. There is some argument that farmers need shotguns for pest control also - but the police dont need guns if the population is effectively disarmed.
