Summary/Abstract: During routine police operations, weapons amnesties and voluntary collection programmes small quantities of ammunition and explosives are often recovered to police stations for secure storage. SEESAC EP.1 provides guidance on the appropriate action to be considered under such circumstances. Rather than refuse to accept ammunition and explosives at police stations, it is overall a lower risk to the general public that they then be accepted for storage within police stations or security force bases on a short term and temporary basis. The acceptance of this risk will require that the recovered ammunition and explosives will need to be subsequently moved to a safe destruction site. This may require movement via a central storage location for consolidation prior to destruction.
