The missing guns include 71 handguns, four semi-automatic handguns and one shotgun, and are all part of an initial 101 service weapons reported missing in 2020.
Philadelphia's Sheriff's Office claimed that only 20 weapons remain missing, because many were already properly disposed of.
However, the Controller's Office says an investigation could not confirm those claims, stating that the necessary documents have not been provided. "There needs to be sufficient identifying information to confirm the disposition of these guns," said Charles Edacheril, Acting City Controller. "This requires documentation to confirm weapons were properly disposed of, such as burned, or located and reported to the National Crime Information Center."
