WELLFLEET – From Wellfleet Police: The Outer Cape Police Gun Buyback has come to a very successful conclusion. The Gun Buyback program began on Saturday May 4th and ran through Monday May 13th. During the week plus long event, citizens could voluntarily turn in unwanted firearms to their local police department, for a gift card from a local business.
Nine guns were brought in for the buyback program between all the towns and will be turned over to the MA State Police for destruction.
We would like to recognize the staff of the following departments (too many to list individually) for stepping up to the challenge:
Orleans Police Department
Eastham Police Department
Wellfleet Police Department
Truro Police Department
Provincetown Police Department
MA State Police
Year Guns Turned In (various amounts of ammo are turned in yearly)
