When we very first heard about the cruiser being stolen, I asked my husband "Don't they keep weapons in there? What if he decided to go on a shooting spree with PD weapons?" Who would be responsible for that? If we were to leave our vehicles unlocked with weapons inside and someone got a hold of them and killed someone, we would be responsible for leaving a weapon unsecured.

Luckily he didn't go that route but it was my first thought.

I believe the punishment would be paid admin leave.

Maybe even an unkind note on his personnel record. (But probably not because why rock the boat?)

The guns are usually locked in a gun rack and to unlock them you need to press a button usually on the light bar control head. It should be an unlabeled button and sometimes it has a dummy label on it like Aux1 or something like that.
