Problem is such that 3 entire states (California is not one of them) and 146 departments from 36 states have been suspended from the Pentagons 1033 program, for not doing the required annual inventory's and loosing or having weapons stolen.
Here's one to where 500 weapons go missing from a Texas department evidence room...
Link And you're right, its usually the department employees at blame.
California does have a big problem with officers and their weapons, just a few years ago, a local FFL was busted with I think it was 9 officers using a loophole in the law allowing officers to purchase restricted weapons and then turning around and selling them to the public.
Guess officer pay and benefits and California has some of the Nations highest paid, still isn't enough!
