The reference from which it is sourced uses that term, and explains it thus: "The killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty" Cdgillie (talk) 07:06, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Canada?
It would be helpful if someone added a section about Canada, which is currently conspicuous by its absence.--Muzilon (talk) 07:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

In the list of countries you have the UK as 17 and listed places within it at 17.1, 17.2, and 17.3. That's not really correct because where's the other .7? It should be something like 17 1/3. Since there are 3 places in one section. September 19th, 2020.

Norway
The map claims police in Norway are unarmed, but the actual article says otherwise. Prins van Oranje (talk) 18:36, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

France
While the majority of my edits to this section are small quibbles, France's National Assembly passed a new law in 2021 that allowed police officers to carry firearms off-duty for the first time in the country's modern history. I have edited the French section to reflect this, with cited news link from France 24, and challenge the reversion to original status. 206.104.101.48 (talk) 01:36, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Genoa? More like genova

Problem with this article and its source
Hello. The claim for the police firearm use by country comes from two articles, one from CNN, one from the TIMES. However, the TIMES article uses the CNN article as the source. CNN made the map and the original claim based on the website gunpolicy.org in the state of 2017. However, this website didn't conduct a survey, nor did they claim to have complete data. Instead, they are accumulating scientific articles about firearm use in all countries. But for some countries, they simply had insufficient information.

The site is a good start for research, but insufficient to base a wikipedia article about police firearm use by country on it.
