Firearms / Free Trigger Locks

It is of the utmost importance that anyone who owns a firearm understands that it is a responsibility that must never be taken lightly. Gun owners must always be absolutely certain that the weapon is always completely safe and secure from any possible misuse by family members and others. This responsibility is even more crucial when children are in the home. Whether it is the result of poor judgment, forgetfulness, or simply human error, a mistake can be tragic. Nothing should be left to chance.

However, as a way to assist residents in keeping their firearms safe, the police department offers FREE gun trigger locks to any local resident. The locks can be picked up Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the police station. No identification is required when picking them up and no one who requests the locks will be questioned as to their residency.
