So at work today an officer drove off with their gun on the roof of their car and it fell off unnoticed in the parking lot, to be found by some random city admin types.
Rumor has it the department's policy is automatic termination. I'm a bit skeptical of that. Any other depts have a similar policy? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Cop will likely get a few days off without pay, but not terminated unless there is a pattern of such behavior. We had an officer leave his pistol on the crapper at the courthouse. Lots of fun ensued, got it back a few weeks later after a traffic pursuit and crash. |

Quoted:  something called being responsible for a lethal weapon??Quoted: Quoted: That's happened in Seattle a few times. Its a screwup, not a deliberate act. Not sure the point of punishing the officer over it. something called being responsible for a lethal weapon?? |

Quoted: That was all it took, so I don't do it anymore. And it was an owner's manual, not a gun.  Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Am I the only one that has never put shit on the top of my car? That was all it took, so I don't do it anymore. And it was an owner's manual, not a gun. |

Am I the only one that has never put shit on the top of my car? To clarify..I'm talking about my personal vehicle, not a patrol car. I'm guessing I'd have a lot more stuff in my hands if I were a LEO. But I hear all the time of people leaving stuff on top of their cars and I have never put anything up there to forget. I guess it stems from my lack of wanting to screw the car's paint up. |

One of the guys left his issued m-16 at the range.
I took it back to the office and gave it to him. Did not say anything. Couple years later someone drove my unattended blazer to the local bar. He had his trainee bring it back to me. Did not say anything. Stuff happens. |

I was in a hurry one morning and was driving out of the parking lot when my shotgun slid off of the top of my patrol car, i heard it slide and saw it in my mirror hit the ground and my heart skipped a beat. As luck would have it, my supervisor saw my mishap and as i retrieved mw weapon he proceeded to chew my ass right there on the side of the road i didn't live that down for quite some time, took a reprimand on moved on. never happened again. that was 10 years ago

Army threatens losing a firearm or misplacing it is a chapter. Doesn't happen like that. I cannot tell you how many times in Iraq or Afghanistan a soldier has "misplaced" their weapon. Shit cray. No one cares about those people. Imagine if you lost your m4 or saw stateside
