准备

Get informed about public safety efforts in our community and pledge to make our city a safer place. Here are a few ways you can help keep guns out of the wrong hands.

If you have firearms in your home, make sure they are stored properly and locked away. Having a gun in the home significantly increases the risk of homicide, 自杀, 以及无意枪击, which is why safely storing firearms is so important.

It takes a community to keep our students, staff, and families safe. Thank you to our partners and community members who are working to end gun violence!

Let’s work together to make our communities safer and prevent gun violence.

Firearms Safe Storage and Preventing Gun Violence

The safety of our students, families, and communities is a priority.

Owning a gun is a personal decision, but secure storage is a public safety issue. Kids and unsecured guns are a potentially lethal combination. 每年在美国.S., nearly 350 children ages 17 and under gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. Every year, nearly 700 children, 17 and under, die by 自杀 with a gun.

安全存放枪械

Store firearms locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition. Read more about safe storage of firearms on the 西雅图 & 金郡公共卫生网页.

Talk with Family and Friends about Safe Storage

We encourage you to ask about the presence of unsecured guns in any home your child visits. Assume children and teens can find guns.

了解自杀的警告信号

Unlocked firearms are a risk to people struggling with suicidal thoughts. 了解更多，并找到资源自杀 prevention and intervention at SPS.
