All sworn personnel shall carry their handguns in holsters when the weapon is on their person, unless it is contained in a briefcase, purse, or other closed container. Weapons shall be carried in the above manner at all times, including coming to and from the workplace and the pistol range, unless an emergency situation necessitates unholstering the weapon, or when placing the weapon in a gun locker. Once removed from the gun locker, the weapon shall immediately be holstered. At no time will the handgun be carried cocked, or off "safe."
Accidental discharges of firearms resulting from violations of this section will result in disciplinary action.
