A second event for the collection of toy guns from kids will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 10 at the Bedford Police Department, 2 Mudge Way. Kids are encouraged to bring in their toy guns, meet Bedford Police Officers, and receive a voucher for a free ice cream from Bedford Farms.

The Bedford Safe Campaign is a joint gun violence prevention campaign sponsored by the Bedford Police, Board of Health, and Health Department with a goal of protecting our children, youth, and families from gun violence in homes. 

An unsecured firearm in the home is a public health danger that can lead to more frequent homicides, lethal domestic violence, accidental shootings, and suicides in the home.
