The Southfield Police Department, in partnership with the Southfield Fire Department and 411 Therapy, will sponsor “Lock it For Love” free gun lock giveaway on Saturday, March 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event will be held at the Evergreen Plaza located at the southeast corner of 12 Mile and Evergreen. Lock it For Love is designed to bring awareness to gun safety while adding another layer of protection when guns end up in the hands of untrained individuals or children. Chief Barren will kick off the event with a press conference at 11:00 a.m. and Southfield Police Officers will be on hand to demonstrate the proper way to use the gun locks.

This event is free and open to anyone who has a gun or who knows of someone who has a gun that can benefit from the gun lock. For more information, contact Officer Pate at (248) 796-5360or e-mail kpate@cityofsouthfield.com.
