What is the required documentation when entering a stolen firearm into the database?

When entering a stolen firearm into the database, supporting documentation is essential. This documentation typically includes detailed information such as a police report, proof of ownership, and any other relevant evidence that confirms the firearm's status as stolen. The inclusion of comprehensive supporting documentation ensures that law enforcement agencies have a clear understanding of the firearm's specifications, ownership history, and the circumstances under which it was reported stolen. This thoroughness aids in the accurate tracking and recovery of stolen firearms, enhancing the effectiveness of the database as a tool for law enforcement.

While specific elements of a police report or proof of ownership may be part of the overall supporting documentation, relying solely on singular pieces of information would not provide the necessary context or verification needed for accurate database entry.
