I certainly never heard of the UK police needing armoured cars except perhaps in Ulster.
A lot of the police forces have armoured vehicles, normally assigned to specialist firearms units, and yes, they do get used.
After 9/11 the cheque books were opened and a lot of new kit was purchased. Some really did take the pi$$, I know of five that have .50 Cals in their armouries
