Falmouth has 30,993 residents. A little over 300 signed the petition.It would be terrific poetic justice if some of the "good" reverend's flock stood up and let her know that they had some of these rifles.

Not really. In the case of a patrol rifle they are issued to the individual for their use only. To do otherwise would be issuing a rifle not knowing where it was sighted in or if it was. Blindly issuing a rifle when the need arises is idiotic.What i don't get is why a PD would have a large turnover of ARs.
Handguns are carried, beatup a bit, something they practice with, and with wear and tear likely do need replacement on a schedule. Occasionally they are also changed out due to policy changes (ie caliber, maybe standard issue model changes etc).
Rifles - especially an AR, how often are they ever using them? I assume they are kept in an armory, maybe locked up in a trunk here and there. And taken out for training rarely, or an occasional actual duty need extremely rarely. Their usefull live at a PD is probably kinda forever. Being an AR, isn't like they gotta upgrade the entire rifle to get a shorter barrel, different rail etc etc. I guess maybe some PD would decide it'd be nice to have (insert "better" patrol rifles here, ie SCAR) but that ought to be less often than once a decade.

No idea what the condition of the old ones were. Tjhe govt. surplus variety are usually really beat up.Ok - even if the rifles are issued, still doesn't explain a high turnover of rifles.
Most are not permitted use off duty. I didn't see exactly what they were trading in. We traded in several fairly new but A2 versions replacing them with a M4 style that allowed the installation of optics.They are just trying to make it look good as they sell them cheap to the POs, who will probably sell them at a profit.
What, they can't practice with their actual issued firearm? Are they required to leave their issued firearm at the station when off duty?

For when the terrorists attack FalmouthI'm curious as to the justification of that many rifles, including the 3 SBRs
Well, recent events have shown that it takes at least that many to initiate a response to an active shooter...They have somewhere around 54 officers including Chief and captains.
The town has a population of 32k people.

I wasn't going to go there, but since you did, i see 38 uniformed cops standing guard to keep people out of the scene.Well, recent events have shown that it takes at least that many to initiate a response to an active shooter...
