Retired municipal police can keep gun, badge

Beginning November 1, 2025, a municipal police officer who retires under the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System can ask in writing to keep their department-issued firearm and badge. The head of the officer’s municipal law enforcement agency decides the request. The agency can deny it if the officer is not in good standing, has a felony conviction, is mentally incapacitated and could not perform duties if recalled, or if approval would harm public health, safety, or welfare. If the officer dies before retiring, the agency head may give the firearm and badge to the spouse or next of kin, following agency policy.
