What must a Correctional Manager ensure regarding firearms in the mobile patrol post?

A Correctional Manager must ensure that firearms in the mobile patrol post are properly trained and qualified. This means that personnel handling firearms should have the necessary training and certification to use the weapons safely and effectively. Proper training includes understanding the operational procedures, maintenance, and legal implications associated with the use of firearms. Qualified personnel can reduce the risk of accidents and misuse, which is crucial in a correctional environment where safety and security are paramount.

While secure storage, regular cleaning, and the condition of the firearms are important considerations, they become secondary to the foundational requirement of having qualified individuals operating the firearms. Training ensures readiness and the right judgment is exercised when firearms are involved, especially in high-stress situations typically found in correctional settings.
