Sidwinder, yes there are women in the HNP. They mainly do traffic, office and are called in for female arrests. In page 107 (god can't believe how many pages) there is a female officer armed with a Galil SAR. here is another picture of a female armed with a Galil SAR (right hand side of picture)

No, nothing like that. Just safety just in case one of these bandito's decides to use laces as a Garrote on a officer to try and escape.

A couple of men are escorted from jail to court hearings by HNP. These men are accused of crimes with use of lots of violence. Two of the HNP agents are carrying Galil SAR's (left side) and one carries a AR-M4 SF Krink.

Shorty ACE

So I look at this picture and noticed these Galil Ace rifles belonging to HNP's ATIC unit had a rail system. I don't know if this picture is a optical illusion, but the barrels on the ACE's seem to be shorter than the ACE 21's I see in other pictures? Could these be Micro Galil ACE's in the Honduran National Police's inventory to fight crime?

Shorty ACE

Here is a comparison picture of the Galil ACE 21's in the hands of the Honduran Army's Paramilitary Police of Public Order to prior post.

According to Wikipedia civilians in Honduras cannot own Galils. Damn, that would be a deal breaker for me, even more than them having the worst homicide rate in the world.

WCC, Yes technically in Honduras if you own any kind of weapon that the current Police or Military use it can be confiscated as a Govt. weapon in civilian hands. Let me use this example: If you where to own a Century Arms International Golani in Honduras which is semi-auto and pretty much the civilian version of the Galil, the HNP would confiscate it because the Galil is considered a national weapon. Now if you are well connected with the local military and police you can get special carry permits for a Golani (or just about any gun). Even though the laws forbid civilian ownership of military weapons people still have them. You could own full auto AK-47's in Honduras as a private citizen up until 2003. In 2003 the Honduran government had to ban these weapons because the MS-13 and 18th street gangs where mowing each other down (and innocents) with AK-47's. You ask why you could own full auto AK's? It was the fact that the Honduran Government did not have them in military or police inventory. I had 2 of them, my dad turned them in 2003 under amnesty. They where supposed to be destroyed, but they ended up missing from a military base. Most likely theseAK's are in circulation somewhere in Mexico, Guatemala or Honduras with the drug cartels.

Guy's gun on the right w/ smoke polymer mags and forend strongly resembles a CZ Scorpion Evo 2... 9mm subgun.
Other guy's weapon appears to be the same.

EDIT: Nevermind -- others beat me to it.

Galil Vs. Extortionist

Here in the left side of the picture a HNP operator carries a Galil SAR while presenting a man arrested for extortion. The man had just shook down a business and the money he took can be seen on the evidence table.
