If a sworn employee is placed on light duty for more than two weeks, which two items must they relinquish?

• A. Badge and ID
• B. Radio and belt
• C. Sheriff’s Office issued firearm and assigned vehicle
• D. Handcuffs and baton

Answer: (C)

When someone is placed on light duty for an extended period, items that directly enable active field enforcement are restricted. The two things that must be relinquished are the issued firearm and the assigned vehicle. The firearm is removed to prevent any possibility of use while not cleared for full-duty patrol. The assigned vehicle is returned because it’s a core tool for patrol operations and must be controlled by someone actively on duty. Other equipment like badge and ID, radio, belt, handcuffs, and baton are typically kept on hand for identification or administrative tasks, depending on policy.
