S.2380

Removes requirement that certain special law enforcement officers turn in firearm at end of shift.

This bill removes the requirement that Class Two and Class Three special law enforcement officers turn in their firearms at the end of their shift. These officers are authorized to carry a firearm while on duty and would no longer be required to return the firearm at the end of the workday. The bill does not alter current statutory law concerning these officers’ right to carry a weapon. Class Two officers generally are prohibited from carrying off duty. Class Three retired police officers who are approved by the State Police have the right to carry a weapon while off duty.
