While many other rifle racks address the need to administratively store multiple rifles for patrol officers, the Covered 6 RTD (Ready To Deploy) ensures safe storage of individual rifles inside the police department. Should a gunman enter the police building, running out to the patrol car to retrieve a rifle wastes valuable time. The RTD allows rifles to be securely stored in offices or common areas while still providing instant access via a keypad and RFID key fob. Additionally, the patented design of this system prevents manipulation of a weapon’s charging handle while the rifle is in the rack.

Weapon retention is a basic survival skill drilled into recruit officers at the academy. Unfortunately, this basic lesson is not always carried over to the administrative duties of maintaining and storing department weapons. Too many news reports of rifles and other weapons missing from department armories have hit local headlines in recent years.
It is very important to make sure police officers have the tools they need for an increasingly dangerous job. However, it is equally important to account for each weapon that is acquired by a department — which is why investing in gun lockers is a great idea for every department.
