The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office hosted a successful Gun Buyback Event, and the Ramapo Police Department was proud to participate in this collaborative community safety initiative alongside the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, the Spring Valley Police Department, and the New York State Police.

Together, agencies collected a total of 19 firearms, including 11 handguns, 3 assault rifles, and 5 long guns.

Every firearm voluntarily surrendered represents one less opportunity for a weapon to be lost, stolen, misused, or involved in a tragedy. Gun buyback programs play an important role in reducing the number of unwanted firearms in our communities and promoting public safety.
