If you are a police officer or security guard or any body in the Arm of any forces of any nation, your duty is to protect lifes and properties. That is your duty and the first and foremost duty of any force. And you are given gun in case you encounter criminal that has gun. If it is a duty to protect lifes and properties, it is a duty to protect your life also
In the Bible, self defence is not a sin, it is in the book of Moses that if you want to defend and kill a man because of self defence, you are not liable! If a man accidentally kill somebody in defend of his own life, God prepared a place called a place of refugee in the land of Israel
Numbers 35:10-16 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
In the land of refugee, if anyone revenge an accident, that person must be killed by stone to death
God's justice dictate that if you kill anybody by protecting lifes and property as your duty should be, then it's not a great sin in the sight of God
If you are a Arm force of any nation, be a sharp shooter, do not shoot on the head or on the head so it won't be fatal, just disable the criminal by shooting on the hand or on the leg so that he cannot run away or kill you.
It is better for a a force man to be compassionate, even to criminals. If you caught a criminal without killing them, let the Law decide
