When issued guns at work the person can have prohibited class. Police officers do not need a pal. A _non sworn employee_ would need restricted class.

The most common example is the cbsa who are issued a prohibited px4.

So all sergant at arms are, well, armed?? Lol
I know they can be issued prohibited firearms for work, I was just wondering if the 5946 was his choice or just what he was given.

Vickers was as a retired member and since the 5946 is there "duty firearm" the RCMP would have authorized it for use/possession. Many police services who are on the US border, often travel for training with Cdn policer services and the local police chief authorizes them to carry and use there duty firearms while in Canada. If you want to carry in your local area, go ask you local police chief to authorize it.
