They were not. Patrol constables do not generally carry sidearms.

Were the officers armed? No, but it sounds like it was an ambush so it probably didn't make a difference. You had four cops shot in a Louisiana ambush recently; two of them dead, all of them armed.

Traditionally, many English police officers (Bobbies), are not armed with firearms.
This was politically in deference to the will and consent of the English subjects when the Bobbies were created as a civilian police force, and has not been changed since then by tradition.
Several additional overlapping departments have been created over the years and they are armed.

No. Regular street patrol are not armed. There’s a special squad that’s allowed to use guns. They have to be specifically called out. They go to the station and receive weapons from a locked room. Then they go out and do whatever ....
