Evaluasi Kualitas Gudang Penyimpanan Senjata Api dan Amunisi Dalam Rangka Mendukung Pelaksanaan Tugas Operasional Kepolisian

The National Police, as a state institution, is tasked with maintaining public security and order, including ensuring that the management of firearms and ammunition is carried out safely and professionally. Various incidents, such as theft and explosions in weapons storage facilities, indicate weaknesses in the current storage and supervision systems. Therefore, an evaluation of the quality of firearm and ammunition storage facilities is essential as part of the police's operational support. This study aims to identify the actual condition and formulate efforts to improve the quality of INP’s firearm and ammunition storage facilities, focusing on aspects of security, safety, health, accessibility, and comfort. The research method uses a mixed-method approach through filling out questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations. Data were obtained from 4,813 respondents in 11 sampled regional police. The research results indicate that physically, most warehouses are categorized as sturdy and have ventilation and grills, but still have weaknesses. From a security aspect, the armory is still integrated with the command center. From a safety perspective, a temperature measuring device has not yet been installed in the warehouse. From a health perspective, the warehouse is in a damp condition, and the internet connection is also still weak. From the aspect of comfort, the volume of the warehouse space is still lacking compared to the amount of weapons and ammunition stored inside.
