The Southfield Police Department, in partnership with St. David’s Episcopal Church, is hosting a countywide gun buyback event this Saturday, December 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until all gift cards have been distributed) at St. David’s Episcopal Church, 16200 W. 12 Mile Road in Southfield.
Attendees will be given Meijer or Target gift cards in exchange for functioning weapons. They will receive $50 in exchange for long guns, $100 in exchange for handguns and $200 in exchange for assault rifles, up to $300 total per participating vehicle. There will be no limit on the number of weapons a participant may turn in. All weapons must be unloaded and secured in the trunk of each vehicle. Ammunition will also be accepted.
Participants will be asked to provide identifying information when turning in firearms. Attendees must remain in their vehicles, as law enforcement officers will remove the unloaded guns.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners recently voted unanimously to appropriate $10,000 from its Safer Communities Fund to support the event.
