Lake County Chiefs of Police - Gun Buy Back
Program
Saturday, December 15th and Sunday, December 16th,
2001
11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
The Kildeer Police Department needs your help
in getting unwanted guns out of the hands of wrongdoers by reducing the number of firearms
in circulation. The Kildeer Police Department will be participating in the Lake County Gun
Buy Back program scheduled for Saturday, December 15th and Sunday, December 16th, 2001.
This program can help prevent accidental shootings, gun suicides, gun homicides, and
unauthorized gun use. You are encouraged to bring your unwanted firearms to one of the
five drop off locations listed below. You will receive a $50.00 gift certificate
redeemable at a Lake County food or department store and a stuffed animal from a major
manufacturer.
 | All firearms should be unloaded, (if you
have experience and can do so safely) and placed in a gun case or bag and transported in
the trunk of a car or non-accessible area of a van or pickup truck.
|
 | Upon arrival at the turn-in site, enter the
site without the firearm and advise one of the uniformed officers that you have a firearm
to be turned in. The officer will walk you to your vehicle and retrieve the weapon.
|
 | If you live in the
Village of Kildeer or Deer Park and are unfamiliar with firearms or the
unloading of firearms, or if you need a ride to a turn-in location, call the Kildeer
Police Department and an officer will be dispatched to your home to assist.
|
 | If you are unable to leave your home and you live in the Village of Kildeer or Deer Park, a
police officer will be dispatched and retrieve the firearm. The officer will complete the
necessary paperwork and return with the $50.00 gift certificate and stuffed animal.
|
 | All firearms and accessories will be
destroyed. There will be a limit of $200.00 per person for this program.
