The Princeton Township Police Department will provide 700 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, are now available at any time, no questions asked, at the Princeton Township Police Department, 1 Valley Road.
Project ChildSafe, a program developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, 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 Traffic Sgt. Michael Henderson. "Each kit contains a safety curriculum and a 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."
