It is believed by some that carrying a gun by the
police
 force is a threat to society as it increases violence between people. In my opinion, I do not agree with

society.
Firstly
, the
police
 force is made by the government to keep the peace and harmony in a society. In order to do
this
, they need
weapons
 to respond to any dangerous situation. If they are not backed by guns, it will be impossible to keep the governance under control owing to the fact that criminals already carry a gun.

 encountered robbers but were unable to fight back because they were not carrying their
weapons
 and left the scene without any fight. Two lives were lost and many expensive items were robbed in that incident.
Similarly
, the weapon is
also
 necessary for their self-defence and is part of their training. Their life is as precious as others and should not be lost carelessly. It is the right of every human to defend himself with all possible means. If the
police
 were not equipped with the necessary
weapons
, they will never be able to show their full strength on the ground. Their motivation level shall always be low and perhaps no one would adopt the force as a profession. In conclusion, law enforcement should be trained in
such
 a way that they know the price of human lives and
also
 that
weapons
 are only required to be run in defence and protection of precious lives. In
this
 regard, regular training programs should be organised to keep their sanity.
