On such an occasion arising, the officer-in-charge of a police-station shall issue such number of arms as may be necessary with 20 rounds of ball ammunition per arm. If more than one constable is taken out, the senior of the trained constable shall take charge of the armed party and act as squad commander under the orders of the Sub-Inspector or Assistant Sub-Inspector or head constable.
