BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br />The Hawai'i Police Department has an estimated 3,000 firearms in evidence. Some of these firearms have <br />been identified as being used in the commission of a crime; however, many of them have not been tested so <br />therefore it is not known if they have been used in a crime(s). This backlog is a result of an accumulation of <br />firearms recovered over the years, from various types of crimes. Firearms have typically only been tested for <br />operability and if there is confirmation that the firearm was used in the commission of a separate offense. <br />9 <br />L <br />SIGNED: DATE: <br />Department Head <br />7/16/2020 <br />'113720 <br />
