FIREARMS AT WORK
The City of Lakeville hereby establishes a policy prohibiting all employees from carrying or
possessing firearms while acting in the course and scope of employment for the city. The
possession or carrying of a firearm by employees other than sworn Police Officers and Reserve
Police Officers (in accordance with Department policy) is prohibited while working on city
owned or leased property or while working in any location on behalf of the city. This includes
but is not limited to:
• Driving on city business
• Riding as a passenger in a vehicle or any type of mass transit on city business;
• Working at city hall or any other city-owned or leased work site;
• Working off-site on behalf of the city;
• Performing emergency or on-call work after normal business hours and on weekends;
• Working at private residences and at business on behalf of the city;
• Attending training or conferences on behalf of the city.
An exception to this policy is that city employees may carry and possess firearms in city-owned
or leased parking areas if they have obtained the appropriate permit(s). Therefore, if a city
employee must drive his or her personal vehicle on city business, he or she may check a firearm
with the city Police Department during the workday and retrieve it after work. The Police
• Department will establish procedures to ensure that the firearm is locked up and is not able to be
retrieved by anyone other than the owner/employee.
When responding to on-call work from home after regular work hours, an employee is prohibited
from bringing a firearm in their private vehicle unless the vehicle remains in a parking lot and is
not needed in order to respond to the call.
Violations of this policy are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the city's
disciplinary procedures policy.
