The Jamestown Police Department is participating in the Project ChildSafe Program. 

Project ChildSafe is a nationwide program whose purpose is to promote safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearms owners through the distribution of key safety education messages and free gun locking devices.

Project ChildSafe is an expansion of the Project HomeSafe program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). It is supported by a U.S. Department of Justice grant and is a component of Project Safe Neighborhoods, the nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime to create safer neighborhoods.  DOJ selected NSSF to administer Project ChildSafe based on its experience in operating Project HomeSafe.  NSSF also provides funding to Project ChildSafe.

Project ChildSafe partners with governors, lieutenant governors, U.S. Attorneys, community leaders and law enforcement to distribute free safety kits to gun owners in all states in order to promote safe storage of firearms in the home.

If you are a Jamestown resident and own firearms you are invited to come to the Jamestown Police Department and obtain a FREE firearm safety kit. The kits include a pamphlet with information on safe storage of firearms as well as a gun lock that will work on almost any rifle or pistol. Click Here for a picture of the gun lock.
