Anyone find a lost Sig P228 in the Somerville area? Gun missing from NJSP Barracks

Thoughts are, the Tropper either a) had his weapon stolen or b) lost it and doesn't want to admit it...oops! Not a good time for this negative press coverage for the NJSP!

 

Stay safe!

Perhaps itll show up at the next gun buyback after it is used in a few violent crimes.

What next buyback? It probably disappeared in Trenton's most recent - already on the way to the smelter.

 

Think the NJSP might take a different look at "no questions ask" buybacks if one of their guns were to turn-up there?

 

Just sayin'

 

Adios,

LOL -- They should use the chocolate box, gump style, to advertise their next gun buyback. "Guns ... they're like a box of chocolates .. you never know what you're going to get until you open the box.".

NJ's own fast and furious. In the case it's operation slow and lethargic.

Thats despicable. Hope he rots in jail. Unforgivable betrayal of fellow officers and the badge.

Maybe they should give Holder and Obama a call. They might have some idea where the gun is.

Blueline, whats the usual discipline for losing one's firearm?

They just found the gun on top of a urinal in Dunkin Donuts :ph34r:

I can remember reading in the paper late 80;s or early 90's about 1000 guns missing from NYPD departments.. Not sure if that still goes on.. but this article says it does..

 

Bloomberg should start right at home,

Really depends on the circumstances. Obviously lost is far different than stolen. Usually it results in a long " rip." As in unpaid leave and it could lead to termination in some circumstances...especially nowadays. That's why my duty weapon almost never leave my gun locker anymore except for qualifications. I had it out at a meet not to long ago shooting and the whole time it was away from my gun locker I was paranoid. I have enough other guns where I don't need to take that one

It really aggravates me to see this. Total disgrace.

Bottom line is that there is a lot more to this story. I now truly mistrust most of what is printed in the papers

You laugh but that's almost exaclty what happened a few years ago when at luncheon for a retiring detective in Easton PA an officer left his H&K USP.40 on top of the TP holder at (I believe it was) Outback Steakhouse. When they went back to get it, guess what, it was gone... and nobody saw nothin'.

 

It probably happens a lot more often then you think. Probably they think of it before they leave the restaurant and have a "Phew, that was close moment". Not saying its right, but I bet it happens more often then it should.

When I was on duty with the National Guard at Newark Airport after 9/11 a cleaner came up to me with a H&K P-7 what the NJSP used to carry. He found it around the seats by a gate. The trooper had been sleeping at the gates and lost his sidearm and didn't even realize it. In the interests of cooperation I called my CO who called the Troopers boss and got the gun back to them. So this is nothing new.

Geez, he was lucky to get it back in Newark.
