Issue it,
configure it,
account for it.
Every firearm licensed to the company with a nominated responsible person, every armed officer authorised and competent for the class, every hand-off signed and tamper-evident, every round counted out and counted back — with storage certified to SANS discipline and licence renewals tracked on a ninety-day horizon.

Issue it, configure it, account for it.
A weapon is a base platform plus the attachments and kits riding it, each line with its own identity. Issue is gated on the officer — PSIRA standing, competency for the weapon class, a carry authorisation in force — and every hand-off lands as a signed, tamper-evident fact, so the armoury reads as a definite chain of custody, never a whiteboard.

Rounds go out counted and come back counted. Reconciliation closes the return — a shortfall opens an incident, not a note.

One awaiting line holds the whole platform out of the issue pool until it clears — configuration and custody read from the same state, never a side channel.
A named configuration issues as one signed transaction — six custody entries at once, so a weapon returned missing its optic reconciles at the component line, not the anecdote.
A certified safe at a licensed address, holding weapons unloaded with ammunition locked separately — storage state the register can attest, not assume.
- 01
A weapon is a base platform plus attachment and kit lines — optic, light, sling, magazines — each carrying its own serial or NSN identity and exactly one of three states: installed, spare or awaiting.
- 02
Armed issue is a gate, not a habit: PSIRA standing current, competency valid for the weapon class, a duty that calls for the weapon, and a carry authorisation in force. A lapse on any one pulls the gate immediately.
- 03
Issue and return land as signed, tamper-evident entries on an append-only register — the same register reads back as a court-ready record.
- 04
Ammunition goes out counted and comes back counted; reconciliation closes the return, and a shortfall opens an incident with the issuing entry attached.
- 05
Storage and paperwork run on horizons, not memory: safes certified to SANS discipline, every licence tracked under FCA discipline with an alarm well ahead of expiry.

What happens when something goes wrong.
A weapon that is lost, stolen or fired in anger does not wait for someone to notice. Loss and theft open a reporting clock the moment they are logged, and any use-of-force event auto-assembles its own evidence bundle — the issuance state, the policy in force, the dispatch timeline, and the covering vehicle’s telemetry, sealed together rather than reconstructed afterward.
REPORTING CLOCKS
Physical loss or theft
Licence document loss
Two clocks, not one — a missing firearm and a missing licence document carry different urgency, so each runs its own timer with its own escalation.
EVIDENCE BUNDLE · AUTO-ASSEMBLED
Issuance snapshot
Policy version
Dispatch timeline
Vehicle telemetry
Sealed with an integrity manifest at assembly — inspection- and court-ready by how it is kept, not by an export step.
- 01
A loss, theft or destruction opens a reporting clock immediately — the register does not wait for a shift change or a end-of-week reconciliation to surface it.
- 02
A lost licence document runs its own parallel clock, distinct from the physical-loss clock, because the two failure modes carry different urgency.
- 03
Any use-of-force event auto-assembles its own evidence bundle the moment it is logged — nobody has to remember to pull the four component records together after the fact.
- 04
The bundle is sealed with an integrity manifest so a later read cannot silently alter what was captured at the time — inspection- and court-ready by how it is kept, not by an export step.

BUNDLE INTEGRITY
Every weapon accounted for, every hand-off signed.
From the company licence chain to the round counted back at shift end, the armoury holds each weapon, attachment and kit as an accountable, signed fact — inspection-ready and court-ready by how it is kept, not by an export step.
