All incident information should be entered in compliance with the Discipline Data Collecting and Reporting Manual. Refer to the manual for guidance on proper coding of incident behaviors and resolutions.
Purpose
This check identifies when multiple weapons are entered for a single PF or PW behavior event.
When this occurs every weapon entered is considered its own “act” of a possession of weapon or firearm in violation of law and should be entered as separate events.
Severity
Warning
What to Review
Review the behavior code, weapon type, and number of weapons attached to the event.
