#1 Link to the original story? Or is there one? I'd like to look for names, because I suspect the reporting lacks any.

#4 Praytell, is "Firearms Officer" English for bobbies who are authorized to carry firearms in Tony Blair's kinder, gentler police force? I had read, I believe, that not all officers in the UK can carry weapons...

#5 Yes 'Firearms Officers' are bobbies with the extra-special responsibility of carrying a loaded weapon. You also correctly assert that most bobbies are unarmed.
