# 1.6 - Certifications for Equipment

High Caliber Weapons are restricted to those who complete a certification, to ensure the safety of the weapon handler as well as other officers, and any other civilian or inmate.

| 357 Magnum Revolver | Senior Correctional Officer+                         | N/A                      |
| SIG MCX SMG         | Corrections Officer+ or Correctional Cadet (Phase 2) | ERT Training Officer+    |

{% hint style="danger" %}
When carrying large, high-calibre weapons (SIG MCX, H\&K 416, or Sentinel Shotgun), it is to be stored in your glovebox unless the transport is designated ‘high risk’ by the accompanying police officers. These weapons should only be used when facing similar large weapons, in order to match force (general rule of thumb is to only use it when you see police officers use it if you are unsure).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is all subject to change. It is your responsibility to check what you are authorized to use.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mrmylo.xyz/standard-operating-procedures-department-of-corrections/s1/1.6-certifications-for-equipment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
