Master Box has in addition to their 1/35th military figures started to diverse their releases by releasing Sci-Fi, large scale vehicle figures, Mythology and now police officers.
Master Box has released some very unique figure sets in their time and I know from experience that their customer service is stunning. In this release we are provided with the option of adding a male and female police officer in a fire fight with unseen opponents. This release has a long title and is listed as ‘The Heist’ series No 1, and so it would seem that this is the first of a figure series. A search of the rear of the box reveals at least two other sets featuring the bank robbers and another with a female on the ground with an arm wound. This is an interesting display option being released for your 1/24th scale car models or even in a diorama setting.

Very interesting series which I'll be purchasing. The rifle still looks out of scale too small.

If you look at the plastic photos, the rifle seems okay in size. I have noticed that sometimes the boxart doesn't match the actual plastic rendition. I am surprised that the cops don't have handheld coiled microphones that hook up to the lapel and radios as most American police do. The days of talking into a "brick radio" are practically over. https://www.amerizonwireless.com/impres-remote-speaker-microphone-with-volume-submersible-is-pmmn4046?ads_cmpid=198136736&ads_adid=13433139536&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=42827142296&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-316749542544&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkIrw1OC73wIVwrjACh3WCAfBEAQYASABEgJxxPD_BwE

Good detail catch. I think those lapel mics are connected to handhelds on their belts though. Looks like we'll have to scratch build that part. https://www.insurancejournal.com/app/uploads/2011/10/police-officer.jpg

I like that the head of the male officer looks older which is a nice touch as they have given him a rank.

The male looks to have a Beretta 92FS, seems to be an out of place/time choice.

Now all we need is a police car... Or maybe we can get a slightly overweight officer with curly hair and a .38special next

Another brilliant set from MB... Loads of potential for all sorts of ideas. The choice of side arm is easily addressed, so no big issue tbh.

The duty belt on the female officer should be up, over her liner belt and held in place with belt keepers to prevent it from moving around or falling off. No officer would be allowed to wear their gun belt like that as it presents a hazard to the officer. Current body armor is fairly slim and form fitting but would show around the shoulders and lower back a bit in those poses, but depending on manufacturer not a lot. Shoulder mikes are a biggie as nearly every department uses them now. NYPD keeps the long antenna on the radio but some have gone with a short one. Batons, Tasers and body cameras are all pretty much standard equipment as well nationwide. Photos of NYPD show the yellow Taser and their sergeants wear the body camera. Most photos of patrol officers show cargo pants. I don't know if they issue rifles to regular patrol-many agencies do, but many don't, especially in large urban areas. The Baretta would be ok as many departments allow officers to carry their choice of firearm, or a selection of department authorized guns as long as it is in the same caliber as the issued weapon.

I am in Manhattan as I write this and I have not seen any officers dressed as the figures are depicted. Definitely seeing plenty of cargo pants-looking clothing. The radios and other gear are as Russ describes.
