Yes, but only with strict training and in extreme situations, i do not believe in militarization of the police.

 @9VCSG6Kfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

I believe that the police should have access to a certain grade of weapons depending on the situation. Tanks and explosives should be left to military, I think that assault rifles should be allowed to trained officers.

 @9HW52K8from Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

Police should be completely abolished, and citizens should be permitted to use military grade equipment for personal protection

yes but with strict traning on how and when to use the equipment and also only in responses to extreme situations.

 @9H6GJSNfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

I believe it would be nice for the police departments to have such upgrades but instead of purchasing new weapons do something like the US in which old/ no longer needed weapons are passed down to PDs which is beneficial instead of purchasing or wasting old equipment. However, ensure that these officers are receiving the proper training and handling of these equipment.

well if you give a currupt cop millitary grade gun then theyll use ot for bad if a situation gets to thag point just let the millatary deal with it

 @9H5JCH8from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

they shouldn't be allowed to use military grade equipment because although it is unlikely there is still a chance for it to get stolen and used for robberies and possibly hurting people.

 @9GYC866from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Street patrol police should not but if there are lives in danger they should use what ever equipment can help the people at risk which in some cases means using military grade equipment
