Firearms safe: The firearms safe was very clean and storage was well ordered and logical. However, the Registers are not kept properly and entries of firearms in the Firearms Register were inconsistent. Some were registered as if they were booked out although they were available and vice versa. Anyone seems to have access to the room and can make an entry if they would like to do so and the key to the safe is readily available. This illustrates a lack of control, which can have very serious consequences. No action is taken against persons who do not record properly and the register is not checked daily by a senior person. The Committee was concerned that a very junior constable was in charge of these firearms and that it was unfair to expect her to deal effectively with senior staff.
