There is wisdom in having police that are directly handling prisoners not to have lethal weapons on their person. The idea is to have additional guards, who do have lethal weapons nearby, but not directly handing the prisoners.
I have had more than one police friend tell me that what ever weapon he or she is carrying is one that the bad guy can get a hold of.
