Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch have announced a gun buyback event on April 5 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, aimed at furthering the reduction of gun violence in the area. The event will provide financial incentives for participants who turn in operable and non-operable firearms, including cash cards ranging from $25 to $500 depending on the type of weapon. The initiative emphasizes community safety, aiming to build upon significant reductions in gun-related incidents in the borough.
Brooklyn made historic progress in reducing gun violence last year, with shootings at their lowest level on record and homicides significantly down.
Each gun removed is a life potentially saved, a tragedy averted - and a step toward safer communities.
