NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb emphasized the need for reviewing police firearm management, stating, 'While the work is not yet complete, I am confident the review and its recommendations represent a clear path for improvement in this area.' The tragic murders in February highlighted significant flaws in the system, prompting the force to take action to prevent future occurrences of violence linked to police-issued weapons, especially regarding hate crimes.
In light of the incident involving Beau Lamarre, who has been charged with the murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, Webb stated that procedures around firearm management have 'failed'. She called into question past practices, asserting that the review will establish 'best practices' and 'better oversight' of how police handle their weapons.
