Abstract
A communication system () provides a wearable firearm detection system comprising a first body area network (BAN) node () coupled to the firearm, a second BAN node () coupled to a body wearable apparatus, such as a holster, and a third BAN node () coupled to a portable radio ().

In response to the firearm being withdrawn from the holster, the radio can enable one or more actions such as an alert to the user, an alert to a dispatch center (), or enabling a recording () of firearm movement.
