In addition, the police zone is further investing in electronic weapons cabinets. These make it possible to check at any time whether service weapons are stored correctly. The investment follows previous incidents in which firearms disappeared in 2010 and 2013. One of those weapons was later recovered.
Additional electronic weapons cabinets will be installed in the Roeselare police post and in the main building of the police zone. According to Chief Neyrinck, a strict procedure is used for the management of the weapons. This method will also be applied within the future merger zone with MIDOW.
