Gun buyback program launched by Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office
Law enforcement officials in the South Bay are launching a new gun buyback program to assist in collecting unwanted firearms off the streets and throughout the community.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is launching a new Firearms Relinquishment Program beginning Monday. It will be available at the sheriff's headquarters, the South County substation, and the West Valley Division office.
The new program is a method for the sheriff's office to collect unwanted firearms from the community and to prevent the firearms from winding up in unwanted hands.
A Visa gift card is the amount of $50 will be issued for each firearm relinquishment. A maximum of five gift cards will be issued per person. The gift cards will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds are exhausted.
