Some countries do have unarmed police (though usually there are special armed units).

It works really well!

What's the definition of armed in this case? Firearms only, or does pepper spray also count?

I was talking about guns, but I think most don't carry pepper spray either.

See e.g. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-where-police-do-not-carry-guns.html
