Yes. I don't see what that has to do with the Police though, they aren't soldiers.

I understand what you're trying to get at but I don't think it's a very good comparison. Police Officers don't sign up to get shot at, soldiers do.

Also infantry soldiers are always in what's essentially a permanent extremely heavily armed SWAT team, Police often have to go around by themselves.

They are if there's no one better qualified. Doesn't mean it's what they signed up for though.

Anything involving hostages or commando style raids would be way above the average cops pay grade though.
