Police gun crackdown

Stricter controls on guns – including those carried by police – will be put in place following a spate of violent crimes involving firearms in recent weeks. The announcement, made yesterday by Phnom Penh police chief Chhoun Sovann, included the passing of a sub-decree that will prohibit police and other security forces from keeping their guns with them while they are off duty. The crackdown will also involve more street-level checks on vehicles, and an audit of gun licences.

“People who do not have the right to carry a weapon, when they finish their work, must hand their weapons to their department unit,” Sovann said. “When we check them they say it is legal, but it is completely illegal because they have no right to take the weapon [home] with them.”
