What is the maximum number of days after a Locate is placed on a stolen, lost, or felony gun that the record is retired?

The maximum number of days after a Locate is placed on a stolen, lost, or felony gun that the record is retired is 10 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that law enforcement agencies can efficiently manage entries in the system while also balancing the need for ongoing investigation and resource allocation. Once a Locate has been placed, the 10-day period allows for the investigation to progress without keeping outdated or unnecessary records in the database. This process is critical to maintaining the integrity of the system, ensuring that the data accessed by law enforcement remains current and relevant for effective decision-making during investigations.
