Suicide Prevention and Firearm Safety

Did you know there is a local way to help prevent suicide and protect your loved ones during tough times? The Live Today Put It Away program offers a simple, compassionate option for firearm owners in Wisconsin: temporary, voluntary safe storage of guns outside the home during a crisis. This is about creating time and distance to keep people safe when they may be struggling.

Live Today Put It Away connects firearm owners with trusted places like gun shops, ranges, and police departments that will securely hold unloaded firearms at no cost until the crisis passes.

The Wautoma Police Department is one of 9 police departments in the state participating in this program and can provide safe firearm storage for community members who want a responsible, temporary option for their firearms.  For more information got to https://livetodayputitaway.org.
