Yes, but more or less... most police depts have plenty of trained officers on call.

There was quite a few coming through a few weeks ago to flying NW for the Lakewood 4 funeral, pretty much all from the all the major greater Boston area cities.

Hell, there was a BC campus police officer that came through today. A campus police officer for Boston College... why he'd need to fly armed I don't know aside I guess from protecting BC sports teams?
