Monday, @PAHealthDept, @PACrimeComm, @PAStatePolice, @LGHealth & @MHALancaster came together in Lancaster to raise awareness of firearm safety and storage best practices.
Firearm safety practices are critical in reducing the risk of injury - and in the most tragic cases, death. Increasing awareness of firearm safety is one of the main areas of focus of PCCD's Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
