A total of six .40-caliber Smith & Wesson semiautomatics were missing for four years, Police Chief Anthony Riello said yesterday. He said the department-issued sidearms went missing because six officers — three retirees and three summer special officers — failed to turn in their weapons after leaving the department.I suppose this is fair, since the weapons belong to the department ..... no sense spending dollars you don't have to by outfitting your whole department permanently.
But it does bring up an interesting question: if they were trustworthy by virtue of their position and training before, why does the officers' training suddenly go away when they leave the department?
Could it be that the training doesn't really matter to the Republik of Massachusetts?
