Stockpile Management and Security - Disposal
Federal and State Police Forces:
Not unlike the build-up of military surplus stocks, surplus of police weaponry is mainly resulting from decisions to modernize and replace weaponry in active use or to redefine the service- or shelf-life of existing weapons.
Special surplus markings on police weapons indicate that they have been removed from active service and integrated in a disposal process which is documented in the federal back-up register of SALW maintained by the Federal Police.
[SALW = Small Arms and Light Weapons]
