Secure law enforcement weapons storage has never been as important as it is today. In May 2020, two patrol rifles were stolen from police vehicles in Seattle amidst widespread rioting, while the NYPD saw over 303 police cars vandalized during social unrest in just a few months in 2020, costing the agency $1 million in damage.
Vehicles are not the only concern. In recent years, police departments and other government buildings have been overrun by rioters. Every month, teletypes from agencies list items including firearms, identification, badges, and body armor that were stolen from them.
Law enforcement officers often criticize citizens for storing guns in their vehicles only to be stolen and used in crimes. We certainly don’t want to be part of the problem.
