The reasons for the low recovery rate are absurd. According to The Inquirer report, they include sheriff’s deputies’ refusal to serve the order because the five to seven page document is too much paperwork, the office not being notified of protective orders that warrant investigations because a printer was turned off to save money, and a glitch in the state’s reporting system that prevented law enforcement from being notified when firearms weren’t surrendered, creating a 100-case backlog.
