handle is hein.gao/gaobabdxx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ,) OSL4 BY THE US. GENERAL ACCOUNTING Report To The Attorney General OFFICE The Bureau Of Prisons Can Improve Its Annual Firearms Refresher Training And Armory Operations In reviewing the Bureau of Prisons' annual firearms train- ing program and its armory operations, GAO found that: --Each of the four institutions it visited to observe annual firearms training judges the qualifications of employees differently. These procedures should be standardized. --All incidents involving the discharge of a firearm were not being reported, although required by Bureau policy. --The Bureau has allowed institution officials to deter- mine weapons needs without providing them with formal guidance for making such determinations. GAO found that the Bureau's institutions had large differences in the number and type of weapons in inventory and that many of the weapons needed maintenance or a thorough cleaning. Although the Department of Justice believed that the Bureau's firearms training program adequately met the Bureau's needs, it agreedthatGAO made several valid and worthwhile observations. The Department informed GAO of corrective actions that would be taken and expressed the belief that these actions would prove beneficial. 0 z 1CCON, C(247 Fq 3 4 . £ I , 120834 GAO/GGD-83-37 MARCH 18, 1983
