What would be an example of a reportable incident related to a weapon?

A reportable incident related to a weapon encompasses any event where a weapon is discharged in a manner that poses a threat to safety. This interpretation aligns with safety protocols in correctional environments, where the objective is to maintain security and ensure the well-being of both staff and inmates. Such incidents require thorough documentation and response to ensure accountability and evaluate the circumstances surrounding the discharge.

In contrast to other scenarios, a firearm discharge during a training exercise may be planned and conducted under controlled circumstances, and therefore, may not be reported as a safety threat. The use of a taser in a controlled environment usually falls within guidelines for training or compliance, thus it does not meet the criteria for a reportable incident. Routine maintenance of security equipment typically involves no active threat or use of weapons and is generally seen as part of standard operational procedures rather than an incident itself.
