When we first reported on the theft of Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis’s backup service pistol from a car this past weekend, we noted that Davis had reportedly stored her firearm in a lockbox, but the lockbox itself was stolen out of the car along with a backpack. That led me to recommend a car safe with the option to secure it within the vehicle itself, which I still believe is good advice.
As it turns out, though, it’s also the official guideline of the Memphis PD, at least for officers on duty.
