Dozens and sometimes hundreds of frontline police officers have been told to carry guns on average once a week in recent months, as fears around gun violence escalate. Source: 1 NEWS
Some of these temporary arming orders - where all frontline officers can be armed - can span entire districts and last for days, usually while police investigate a shooting or other violence.
Some say this is the safest response to a growing problem - others warn it increases the chances of injury and death.
In the 10 months to January this year, police issued 47 of what they call temporary carriage orders , figures released under the Official Information Act show. This is slightly more than once a week somewhere around the country.
