Start digging around and you might just find the organisations they came from along with the municipalities that control them, might just destroy them in the future to avoid any potential liability.

OP:
Im with everyone else................. 1. Don't waste your or their time. 2. You'd have to know which Dept to send it to. There isn't a collective registry for them, unlike the US Military. 3. Who cares. 4. Even if you did get something back, the chances are ZERO of anything interesting. @HellFish: You, clearly, have never been in a good rock'em-sock'em drag out fight. Nor have you been around someone who was truly "bleeding like a stuck pig." You'd be surprised the amount of blood that comes out of people and where it goes when say: - you're trying to arrest them. - you're trying to get them subdued and in an ambulance. - when they are bat-shit crazy and just sliced themselves into ribbons. (BTW......those CMP FOIA requests are sent to people whose job it is process them. And they take about 5 minutes. And no, it doesn't cost millions of dollars). ;) |

I'd suspect that most LE-trade in guns have bodies on them. injured deer bodies. In just over a decade I probably have put down 60 injured deer (probably same number via shotgun/rifle). FOIA request won't show that though.
If any of our guns are used in a shooting of a human they will be kept indefinitely in evidence incase of appeals, civil suits. |

I bought a Beretta INOX as a PD trade in several years ago that had a drop of blood on the slide
Brake clean made it go away |

I'm sorry if the above info makes no sense. I'm kind of an idiot.

Only records my department would have is date taken into inventory and date removed from inventory. I'd imagine most departments are the same.

Get this and get it straight: crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or the grave. There's no other end- but they never learn.

The "bodies" on any of the several pistols I've been issued over the years would be deer that were hit by cars.
If you wanted a cursed gun, everygunpart.com had 1911 parts that were gold plated and the grips had Santa Muerta on them... I was very tempted to buy but...bad juju there. |

Some cops would be lucky if they know how to field strip their pistol, nevermind cleaning it. And they're certainly not pulling off grip panels to do it. Cops aren't automatically gun guys. To many of them it's nothing more than just another piece of equipment weighing down their belt. |

I bought my old g23 when we switched to 9mm. The agency sold them to a company in bulk, then the company sold them to the officer it was issued to if we wanted to keep it.
I shot thousands and thousands through it. Probably the last two years I had it, this pin on the side would start backing out during heavy sessions on the range. I’d just smack it back in during qualifications. 😂 i spent $350 on this hooptie. But it has sentimental value. |

My K98 looks like it held off the Russian army by the looks of the bore. It was captured by the Russians and I bet it took a lot of souls. It hasn't spoke to me yet but if it did, I can't speak German.
Have a Mosin with the same type of sewer bore. Probably took a lot of German souls. History is cool, no ghosts in them though. |

How would a LE service pistol get so immersed in blood that it got under the grip panels and then never cleaned before returning to service? This. Also, blood tends to do a number on steel. Even with a stainless pistol a sizable amount of blood would likely to tarnish the fuck out of it. |
