The Carver County Sheriff's Office believes that community engagement includes educating the public on safety. We are proud to support three important firearm safety initiatives that help protect families while preserving Minnesota's strong outdoor traditions.
Be Smart
This program encourages parents and caregivers to securely store firearms, model responsible behavior, ask about unsecured guns where children play, recognize the risks, and have age-appropriate conversations about gun safety. Safe storage and open dialogue are simple steps that make a significant difference. If you would like additional information on this program. To learn more, click the link below.
