Not sure that we do need many more. Carrying a firearm is a hefty responsibility and it is not suited to everyone.
I very much doubt that a large increase in armed police is ever likely to reduce their response time much below the 8 minutes we saw last saturday night.
And it may introduce other problems that negate any benefits.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Yes.
All 3-5+ years police officers should be trained and issued firearms in event of emergency, this is how you get large number of armed police when you need it.
Even better - allow willing, honest taxpayers to have license to carry firearms and assist police in the event of emergency.
