Armed police drones have a deadly downstream problems too, how will people and/or criminals oppose them, which they certainly will. Some of the most common or best counter options have really bad side effects, the first being people shooting rounds into the air at them which will come down who knows where, and if it becomes a real big problem I foresee small EMP bomb/mortar/grenade devices or powerful jammers being used. A small bit of explosive on the side of a magnet with some loops of copper coil it gets blasted through can deliver a fairly significant EMP blast over a small area which can damage all sorts of devices, especially anything with an antennae, IE every single wireless capable device. And jammers have obvious problems and can be made crazy powerful without much difficulty. Armed police drones becoming anything near common or expected will kick off a bit of an arms race with criminals. If criminals don't just start copying the exact same thing. Ive seen DIY demonstrations of small drones firing pistols accuratly years ago now, thankfully they haven't taken off, but that might change if the police themselves start using them.
