    This presentation will supply information to Menlo Park residents on proper gun safety. Officers Estrada and Albertson have taken the pro-active approach of gun safety education in the hope of preventing any accidental deaths or serious injuries caused by children and teenagers who access an unsecured gun.

    Officers Estrada and Albertson will be distributing gun safety locks free of charge and offering instruction on their proper use. The gun safety locks have been donated by Safe Kids of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. The officers will provide advice on residential firearms storage and answering general questions regarding gun safety laws.
