PROJECT CHILDSAFE^SM COMES TO MACUNGIE

FREE FIREARM SAFETY KITS AVAILABLE

Project Childsafe is a nationwide program designed to promote safe firearm handling and proper storage through education. The program was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), and is supported by a U.S. Department of Justice grant.

As part of this program, Project Childsafe has provided the Macungie Police Department with free safety kits to distribute. The kit contains literature about gun safety 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.

The kits are FREE, and can be picked up at Macungie Police headquarters in Borough Hall, 21 Locust Street, Macungie. The department's phone number is 610-966-2222.
