I don't think it even matters if cops are armed or not; by the time they get to my home the damage is done. Security should start at the individual (home/family) and community level. The cost of being a victim is not redistributed to society. Society won't have to deal with increasing insurance rates, potential costs for repairs or damage, trauma, loss of life, etc.
