SAPS Firearms: The recording of firearms was problematic. Of the 31 SAPS pistols contained in the safe, all were booked out but one was not contained in the Register. Eventually this firearm was traced to Supply Chain Management but it had not been removed from the Register. Firearms were also unaccounted for in Supply Chain Management and by the end of the visit these had not been traced. The Committee was also concerned that the key for the firearm safe was being held by a trainee as stand-in for a trained member. The keys were also exchanged without any written handover process to record this. The following firearms could not be accounted for on the day of the visit: Q441522, Q033001, C405282 and C40525Z
