Safer Homes, Safer Communities Initiative

These community-led events bring together leaders from a wide range of civic life. High school students, public health professionals, and faith leaders have all worked with public safety partners to host events in their hometowns.

In total, 17 communities have hosted 49 events since 2013, resulting in the safe and secure destruction of over 2,350 guns.

Individuals with questions about a specific event should contact their local police department. Those with questions regarding the regional "Safer Homes, Safer Communities" initiative are welcome to email the Middlesex Sheriff's Office for further information.
