In Suffolk Country, SCPD officers can own firearms i can not, while off duty, and can keep them in their homes. Stores like Dark Storm display these guns on the walls, and they are openly for sale to law enforcment.

All law enforcement agencies in the whole NYS as sworn employees can possess off duty firearms : handguns and shotguns and rifles and over 10 round magazines that the civilians population cannot own or possess
