In some organizations, public and private, departing employees are permitted to take copies of certain documents, or records.  
 
I do not have the details of what is permitted at the employer in question, but a blanket statement that no one is ever allowed to depart any employer or organization with materials or (copies of) documents would not be accurate.  
 
In public service such allowances would be even more likely as many records of our government entities are available under freedom of information requests.

One of my duties as Records Manager is to ensure files and documents are produced in response to subpoenas. Another duty is to ensure that terminated employees do not leave the Firm with either client or Firm files and/or documents.

PG&E knew about its shoddy record-keeping of natural gas pipelines as early as 1992 - San Jose Mercury News 


U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, said the memos' author, Larry Medina, gave the documents to her office last month. She provided copies to the National Transportation Safety Board and the PUC.

"I was astonished when I saw them," Speier said. "Here was a very talented, forward-thinking employee at PG&E. He put his finger on one of their weaknesses, alerted them to it and his job was eliminated. It's just another nail in PG&E's coffin that suggests that safety was not a high priority."
