Minier Police Department partners with Project Childsafe®

 

[August 17, 2022] 

The Minier Police Department, in conjunction with Project Child Safe, the nationwide firearms safety education program, will distribute FREE firearms safety kits to local residents. The safety kits include a cable-style gun lock and will be distributed at the Minier Police Department at 110 West Central Street in Minier.

Project ChildSafe, a program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), educates community members of safe firearms handling practices and works to reduce firearms accidents in local communities. Project ChildSafe has distributed more than 37 million firearm safety kits throughout the country since 2003.

"Projects such as this is a great reminder that safe firearms practices and storage should be practiced all year long, so we can reduce the number of accidents and create a safer environment for our community," said Chief Daryl Weseloh.

"We encourage residents to pick up a Project ChildSafe safety kit, which includes a safety curriculum and a cable-style gun lock. The locks fit on most handguns, rifles and shotguns."

"We are pleased to have the Minier Police Department as a Project Child Safe partner," said Bill Brassard Jr., director of Project Child Safe. "Project ChildSafe is an important step forward in helping ensure that all firearm owners fully understand their responsibilities with respect to the safe handling and storage of firearms."
