CINCI SAFE STORAGE 

OFFICIALS IN CINCINNATI HAVE INTRODUCED A NEW INITIATIVE TO HELP RESIDENTS SAFELY STORE THEIR GUNS. 
IT'S THE *SAFE STORAGE PROGRAM,* ALLOWING PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AND AROUND CINCINNATI TO TEMPORARILY STORE THEIR GUNS IN A SECURE PLACE THAT ISN'T THEIR HOME. PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED CAN STORE THEIR GUNS FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS WITH CINCINNATI POLICE. THIS OUT-OF-HOME STORAGE OPTION CAN BE PARTICULARLY BENEFICIAL FOR INDIVIDUALS IN CRISIS OR AT RISK OF SUICIDE, THOSE TRAVELING WHO NEED TO SECURE THEIR FIREARMS WHILE THEY ARE AWAY, OR WHEN FAMILY AND CHILDREN ARE VISITING. CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HOPE THE INITIATIVE KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF CHILDREN.
