PROJECT CHILDSAFE COMES TO DELAWARE COUNTY
10,000 Firearm Safety Kits to be Distributed Locally

Delaware County Police Agencies will provide approximately 10,000 free firearm safety kits to local residents through a partnership with Project ChildSafe, the nationwide firearms safety education program. The safety kits, which include a gun lock, will be distributed from the following police agencies in Delaware County:

You should check with each individual agency for availability and distribution times.

In Lansdowne, the kits will be available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 10 PM. at the Reception Desk of the Police Department. Kits will only be given to adults who can legally own a firearm. There is no paperwork involved and no tracking of the distribution of the kits.

Project ChildSafe, a program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), will distribute millions of firearm safety kits throughout the country over the next year. The program is funded by a U.S. Department of Justice grant, with additional funding provided by the firearms industry.

We encourage residents to pick up a Project ChildSafe safety kit so they can securely store their firearm. Each kit contains a safety curriculum and cable style gun lock. The locks fit on most types of handguns, rifles and shotguns. The goal is to prevent a child or any other unauthorized person from accessing a firearm in your home.

By partnering with Project ChildSafe, the Lansdowne Police Department is participating in a growing national effort to promote firearms safety education to all gun owners. Project ChildSafe will distribute gun lock safety kits to all 50 sates and the five U.S, Territories.

Project ChildSafe is an important step forward in helping ensure that all firearm owners fully understand their responsibilities with respect to safe handling and storage of firearms.

Stop in today and pick up your free kit.
