The specialists carry guns but the regular cops aren't issued with them.

Just curious, what's the difference between a regular cop and a specialist?

Some are armed and some aren't.

Specialists bring their own donuts to work.

Same as difference between a regular US cop and a SWAT team guy. Don't ever think the UK police are not armed...plenty of them are.

By regular cop, I mean your average constable on the beat. His New York counterpart would be issued with a gun but in London that's not the case.

However, every police station has an armoury and cops who are specially trained to use weapons.
