The Oakland County Lock-It-Up Oakland Campaign is a partnership program between the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the National Project Child Safe/NSSF organization, Crime Stoppers, and over 30 local law enforcement agencies. The campaign initiated a method of maximizing the impact of Oakland County’s limited available resources to build public awareness on the benefits of safe firearm storage practices and promote responsible gun ownership. In addition, the Lock-It-Up program has provided an opportunity for local law enforcement agencies along with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to distribute literature, provide gun safety locks to the public, and utilize technology to increase public awareness.
