Kern County Sheriff’s Office Policies and Procedures TITLE: Firearms – Firearms Procurement, Storage, and Disposal NO: G-1000 APPROVED: Donny Youngblood, Sheriff-Coroner EFFECTIVE: REVIEWED: REVISED: UPDATED: March 1, 2002 11/10/2017 10/27/2014 11/10/2017 POLICY Firearms are a necessary and expensive asset of the Sheriff’s Office. As such, it is imperative that they be carefully managed, issued, tracked, and maintained with a comprehensive history kept on each and every weapon in the Sheriff’s Office possession. The purpose of this policy is to establish how the Sheriff’s Office determines need for firearms, how they are procured, processed, issued, tracked, maintained, and disposed of when no longer serviceable. All department issued guns stored in department vehicles will be secured in a locked rack/safe/trunk. All department issued guns will not be left unsecured in personal vehicles (even when vehicle is locked).
