The Internal Revenue Service is taking corrective measures to improve firearms training for its special agents after a report released Oct. 2 by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that some Criminal Investigation special agents did not meet all the agency's firearms training and qualifications requirements.
TIGTA also found that due to vague, or even missing, guidelines in the Internal Revenue Manual, some managers in CI field offices were unsure what action to take when their agents did not meet the requirements.
The report said the Criminal Investigation Division runs the risk of losing track of firearms because of inconsistent or absent procedures for recording when a special agent who did not meet the annual firearms requirements had the firearm taken away.
