Treasury Officers Allowed to Carry and Store Service Weapons Off-Duty.
This Act permits law enforcement officers employed by the Department of the Treasury to carry their service weapons home and store them there while off duty. The primary goal is to enhance the personal safety of these federal officers, whose duties often involve significant risk. This change affects internal regulations concerning the rights and duties of Treasury law enforcement personnel.
Key points
Treasury Department law enforcement officers (such as investigators) are now authorized to keep their service firearms at their private residences when they are not working.
The measure is intended to provide protection for officers whose duties involve risk, even when they are off the clock, potentially increasing their capacity for self-defense.
