When an officer is suspended due to intoxication, what must happen to their weapons?

When an officer is suspended due to intoxication, the correct action is to return their weapons to the armory. This protocol is in place to ensure that firearms and other equipment are secured and handled by trained personnel. Returning weapons to the armory prevents any potential misuse, ensures they are accounted for, and protects public safety.

The process reflects the serious nature of intoxication while on duty and recognizes the need for immediate action to mitigate any risks associated with having an impaired officer in possession of their weapons. Proper storage in the armory also allows for a clear record of the officer's equipment status, which can be important for investigations and accountability purposes.
