Everything was moving pretty smoothly and then today an email is sent out saying RDS are no longer authorized for off-duty carry. Explanation was we don't have RDS instructors yet so RDS can't be carried (off duty). This basically effects 4 people, all instructors, from a 100 person PD.
My question is for those of you whose agency is just beginning the RDS journey or those who don't issue RDS....
Are you authorized to use RDS on your OFF-DUTY guns?
