In addition to the 2012 Penal Code changes on the Law Enforcement Gun Release Application or “LEGRA”, your legal department and agency head may wish to take this opportunity to revisit the language relating to possessor/ownership requirements on your Notice of Rights and Receipt as well as your Firearm Policy.
Honing your Notice of Rights and Property Receipt and Firearm Policy will:
- Provide for the update of new penal codes on all documents;
- Define your return policy for the possessor and agency employees;
- Reduce confusion for officers in the field when faced with questions regarding any firearm confiscation;
- Reduce or lessen liability issues for your agency.
Visit the California Attorney General’s website to review the 2012 LEGRA.
