Project ChildSafe is the nation’s most comprehensive firearm safety and education program—created by gun owners for gun owners and is dedicated to promoting responsible gun ownership and safe firearm storage. Yankton Police Department is proud to be a supporting member of Project ChildSafe®. Learn more at https://projectchildsafe.org/.

Every firearm owner plays a crucial role in ensuring guns are secured properly to prevent accidents, theft, and misuse. National Gun Storage Check Week (typically June 1 to June 7) is a national campaign of NSSF® and is a timely reminder to check how your firearms are stored and make safety a priority. For more information, visit https://gunstoragecheck.org/. Yankton Police Department offers free firearm safety locks to those who need one, which can be picked up at 410 Walnut Street, Suite 102.
