If you are in an area that it's likely you are going to face an armoured bank robber, consider a rifle that shoots heavier bullets, like a 9.3 X 62, 375 H&H, or 458 Lott, and, use solids...

It's unlikely any police department would
ever be allowed to use a heavy African game rifle in an urban area. The liability risk for collateral damage is just too high.
Face it, while it might not be as ballsy-macho as some huge caliber African game round or voodoo-ish sniper round (e.g. 408 Cheytac), the .308 M1A NM with a good scope will do the job. A pair of magazines loaded with AP rounds for "special purpose" use would likely be enough. If body hits aren't working, you go for the head or the pelvis and/or legs. If unable to do that, target the weapon he's using.
I will note that trying to make even a 125 yard shot on a moving target hosing down the area with his own .308 makes a head shot...
challenging to say the least.
And, since it's the police, they can obtain ammo that's verbotten to the masses, such as solid brass or tungsten cored ammo.
