Many non-US countries manage this just fine. It seems to be mainly the US where "warrior cop" is a thing.

The question was "more passive [than the US]" and not "passively" - that would cover, e.g., the UK, who generally don't roll up to active shooter situations with a squadron of heavily armed trigger happy warrior cops like the US does.
