Most cities and towns (and even the State Patrol) give out the 'guns' with the badge ... but many cops buy their own guns and use them in 'policework' if they're 'approved' for that. I can't say whether the 'taxes' pay for the guns or whether that comes from 'other government funds' ... that would depend on WHICH POLICE FORCE you were asking about ...

No, the police department in which a particular officer works pays for the equipment the officer uses (including the gun).
Sometimes the department will allow an officer to carry a gun of his or her choice at his or her expense.

Here in my city we are issued a gun and must use that one. We are not allowed to carry any other gun.

Taxes! It's a department issued one and if they don't want to carry that they pay for what they want to carry.

I was issued a handgun but chose to carry a different one so I had to pay for it.

Varies from dept. to dept. Some do make you supply your own gun.
