1. The Department of Supply and Provision, through the Ministry Arms and Ammunition Division, undertakes all the measures necessary for the numbering of Public Security Force weapons and registration of their details in the relevant records.

4. Through the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation, rules governing the provision of strict and full security for the licensing of the ownership of small arms and light weapons are strictly complied with. All necessary enquiries are carried out before permits for arms, ammunition and explosives are granted.
