Law enforcers, including Corrections officers, allowed to carry firearms even when off-duty: source

BY law, according to a senior Department of Public Safety official who declined to be identified, Corrections officers and law enforcement officers are allowed to carry their service firearms 24/7, even when off-duty. “However, a policy or directive memo can instruct the Department of Corrections officers to leave their service firearms in their locker when off-duty,” the DPS official added. The legal counsel of the Department of Corrections, Assistant Attorney General Leslie Healer, declined to comment, but added that Corrections Commissioner Wally Villagomez is working on a statement that may be provided at a later date. Asked about the Department of Corrections’ firearms policy, DPS public information officer Dre Pangelinan said the question should be directed to Corrections.
