- Description
A police officer sits on the knee of Santa Claus with a gun catalogue and says 'or alternatively, the Police Association suggests...' A line of children await their turn patiently. Context; Police Commissioner Howard Broad intends to ensure his staff have greater access to firearms. "We will be taking the firearms out of the station and into cars," said Commissioner Broad. "It will still be left to the judgment of the individual officer to make an assessment of the risks and the nature of the threat as to when it is appropriate to carry the firearm. We will be giving guidance and training to assist them with this decision." It is proposed that police vehicles deployed in rural environments or with a single officer should be equipped with firearms lock boxes. The Commissioner emphasised there was to be no routine arming of police.
