NSCS 12: A Year in Review
Over the last twelve months, Arquebus has published a series of blog posts on how jurisdictions can effectively control small arms, light weapons and their ancillaries (SALW) via the development and implementation of a comprehensive National SALW Control Strategy (NSCS).
NSCS 11: National Legislative Frameworks
We talk to Paul James, Arquebus Chairman and co-founder, to discuss the vital role that National Legislative Frameworks (NLFs) play in a NSCS and how intelligence-led policing (ILP) can facilitate their effective enforcement and development.
NSCS 10: International Cooperation and Information Exchange
The effective control of small arms, light weapons and their ancillaries (SALW) is an endeavour that goes beyond national borders.Arquebus is delighted to welcome Adriana Toston Diez, Major in the Guardia Civil and EMPACT Driver, to discuss the importance of international cooperation and information exchange in a NSCS.
NSCS 9: SALW Collection and Destruction
SALW collection and destruction programmes (SCDPs) help to combat the excessive accumulation of SALW and play a key role in post-conflict reconstruction efforts. Arquebus is delighted to welcome David Hutchison, Weapons Marking Specialist for the HALO Trust, to share his insights on implementing successful SCDPs and how they can support a NSCS.
NSCS 8: Physical Security and Stockpile Management
The Physical Security and Stockpile Management (PSSM) of SALW is a vital step toward reducing the risk of unplanned detonation and diversion of SALW.

NSCS 6: Marking SALW and their Ancillaries
The proper marking of small arms, light weapons (SALW) and their ancillaries is vital to detect and disrupt the diversion of SALW into illicit circulation.
