Gun Buyback Program Recognitions
|
|
|
Last year, we hosted a Gun Buyback Program in partnership with seven law enforcement agencies from across North Orange County, including the Placentia, Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, La Habra, and Orange Police Departments. The Program operated seamlessly, and we collected over 400 firearms, including 16 assault rifles, with "no questions asked." In return for their hard work collaborating with my office and staffing the event, we presented certificates of recognition to police department Chiefs and their personnel who participated in the Gun Buyback.
