Crittenden County Sheriff’s Department has scores of free firearm safety kits available 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 until the department runs out. Project ChildSafe has distributed 35 million kits since 2003 and 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 that they can securely store their firearm,” said Sheriff Wayne Agent. “Each kit contains a safety curriculum and a cable-style gun lock.”
