The 185 firearms that are unaccounted for are a mix of guns that were part of the Sheriff’s Office’s arsenal and weapons that were confiscated from people subject to protection from abuse orders.
The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office can’t account for nearly 200 guns, despite statements the sheriff made suggesting that her office had not misplaced any weapons, according to a new report released by the City Controller.
During a City Council budget hearing earlier this year, Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said all but 20 of the weapons were accounted for — they were either located, had been disposed of, or were sold. She has in the past blamed previous administrations for practicing poor recordkeeping, saying in 2020: “They left us with a crazy mess.”
