IMHO, the procedure already posted as SOP for modern Irish policeman 
makes the most sense in those .0001% of crimes where real firepower is 
involved--have the regular cops basically tail the gunmen and vector in 
the cops with real firepower.  No vehicle (barring an FTL-capable 
starship) is faster than a radio wave.	Anyone who argues with guys 
with assault rifles and other junk without adequate firepower deserves 
to get shot for their stupidity.
