It’s interesting to hear your questions! Many LEOS often mention forgetting items like their badges, ID cards, or even their uniforms when they’re rushing out the door. As for bringing weapons home, policies can vary significantly by department and jurisdiction. In LA, officers typically have to follow strict regulations regarding their firearms and equipment; some agencies allow officers to bring their service weapons home, while others do not.
Regarding spare handcuffs or firearms, it can depend on personal preference and department rules. Some officers might have spare handcuffs for backup, while others may not keep any firearms at home outside of their service weapon, again depending on their department’s policies and personal comfort with firearms. It’s always best to check with departmental guidelines for specific policies!
