Roll Call: Firearms Retention and Disarming EDA:057-1107
When an officer is present, at least one firearm is present—the officer's. Most officer contacts with the public are close up, and the officer's firearm is usually visible. Every year, officers are killed with their own firearms or an offender's firearm. Firearm retention and disarming needs to be a part of the skill set of every law enforcement officer.
