The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office works closely with local schools to provide resources, training and support in an effort to increase awareness about gun safety. In partnership with Moms Demand Action and Westchester school districts, the Office launched the Safe Storage Program to proactively curb gun violence and help reduce the risk of school shootings and gun suicides among young people. The program provides school districts in Westchester County with valuable resources to be sent home with every student about gun safety and the importance of keeping guns safely secured and out of the hands of children and teens. Together with Moms Demand Action, the Office also offered the “Be SMART” virtual training countywide which focuses on increasing awareness of safe firearm storage practices and highlighting ways families can help reduce the number of child gun deaths.
