The Taser X26, which is the yellow taser many police departments carry, with a standard cartridge has a maximum range of 25 feet and an effective range of about 15 to 18 feet.  Taser makes a long range cartridge that extends the range to 30 or so feet.  In California a private citizen does not need a license to purchase or carry a taser.  You can go to most gun stores, watch a traning video, pay the $1000 a good taser costs and walk out with one.

The gun you use in the police academy is usually the one you will use on duty unless the department issues you a gun for the mere fact you have to "qualify" in order to be able to carry that type of weapon later on. Qualifying means you hit a certain percentage of bullets in the "correct" area on the practice target. Most officers carry either a .40 or .45 handgun...although some agencies who do not require a particular type of gun will allow officers to carry any type they can qualify with..for example one my fellow officers carry a .357 colt magnum revolver on duty...

Probably Glock and Colt.  I could have also been Kimber, bacuse they make a lot of government handguns for tactical use.

http://www.Blackhawk.com is the leading supplier of military tactical gear, as for the different scopes, they use Eotech and various others, http://www.badassknives.com/default.cfm  is a good site for other military gear. First Samco is the manufacturer of most of the tactical pic rail systems they use in the military.

The unit where I work has an armory that contains riot conrol spray, a pepper fogger, guns, rifles, AR15's, lots of ammo, riot gear.\nThey keep weapons around in case of an escape and pepper foggers in case of a riot. They have extra weapons because they send groups of us to the range for training every few months and with the amount of people that work there someone is always at the range.\nWe have to qualify with a pistol, an AR-15, and a shotgun. Otherwise, we can't work there.\nThey are certain duty posts that require you carry a weapon and these must be checked in and out here every shift. Those include the guys that sit on horseback watching the inmates hoe the fields, the patrol vehicle, and the outside towers.\nThere is one person, usually a sergeant or lieutenant, that is assigned to the armory. Only he is issued the keys and he has a very important job of keeping track of everything.

Basically when a situation becomes too hot for the normal police to handle with their 9 millimeters. A realistic scenario would invole highly aggressive and heavily armed bank robbers with alot of hostages. There would have to be threats to kill them also and kinda of a standoff. Also by heavily armed I mean automatic assualt weapons. Like ak 47's and it isn't silly it does happen. If they started kill hostages that would bring swat in or if they had killed an officier. It's just a scenario too hot for the regular police but not hot enough for FBI or military.

A tazer and a handgun can not be compared. A tazer is another tool in the escalation of force. Verbal commands, physical restraint,  pepper spray or other chemical agents, baton, tazer and eventually a firearm.  A tazer by no means is intended to replace the ability to use deadly force. As a law officer the last thing i want to do is to ever have to use deadly force and the tazer is another tool to assist me in not having to. But there are some dangers of using the tazer especially after the use of chemical agents as some of these are oil based and can flame. The tazer works with high voltage and low amperageto disrupt the nervous system. High amperage is what kills. But just like anything else there are documented cases (although rare where people have died) it is usually in people that are under the influence of narcotis and their heart can not stand the extra strain.
