After an 11-year-old was shot by a sibling, a commissioner asked whether the department knows if distributed gun locks are used and whether lock boxes would be more effective. The deputy chief said there is no metric on lock use, that lock boxes would likely cost more but the department would explore it, and cited an October 10 early-childhood safety summit. Another commissioner suggested buying lock boxes with community-engagement funds as giveaways.
