Fwd: Free Gun Locks Available to Public from Pittsburgh Bureau of Police
by Highland Park Community Council 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

*Published:* 11.23.2021 *Contact:* Amanda Mueller Deputy Public Information Officer Public Safety 412-510-6314 amanda.mueller(a)pittsburghpa.gov Free Gun Locks Available to Public from Pittsburgh Bureau of Police PITTSBURGH, PA (November 23, 2021) - In an effort to minimize accidental shootings and help all residents be responsible gun owners, The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is providing free gun locks for all members of the public while supplies last. The locks are available at all zones within the city, and at Police Headquarters on Western Avenue. Gun locks are a crucial part of the effort to curb accidental shootings by preventing children from discharging a firearm and injuring themselves or others. Oftentimes, effort by parents or guardians to obtain a gun lock and properly secure a gun can prevent tragedy. “Taking five to ten minutes to place the lock on a gun could potentially save a life,” said Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich. “That’s what we’re trying to get out to the public today, that these locks are available.” Hissrich added that learning to use a gun lock is a simple process. The device laces through the magazine chamber into the ejection port before locking in place. Keys should always be kept away from children or placed in a secured location, like a vault.

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/7d4935d6555d/happy-holidays-from-hpcc?e=eb0bdabb3c) Logo Hello Neighbors! With Thanksgiving in the past, more holidays quickly approaching in the future, and Covid still lingering with us, it’s understandable if you’re feeling squashed, stretched, or stressed. One method I’ve adopted to help deal with stress is by making more time to be grateful. Today I want to express my gratitude to: * Our generous community, including everyone who helped make our Second Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive a success (https://hpccpgh.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ed770e831682d049448ee942c…) ; I feel privileged to be a part of this great community! * The HPCC board and our volunteers for their ongoing commitment of time and energy, given with love, to make our neighborhood special. * My family & friends whose presence in my life is a constant reminder that stress is not the only thing I’m feeling - I also feel lucky and loved, joyful and hopeful. There is so much going on in the coming month - opportunities to give back to the community and celebrate. Read on to learn more. And may your holiday season be full of things to be grateful for.

Please help if you can! Children’s Winter Coat & Toy Drive - until Dec 8th This event is organized by the Bloomfield-Garfield Corp & Love Works Ministry for underprivileged children in Zone 5 communities (Bloomfield, East Liberty, Friendship, Garfield, Highland Park, Homewood, Larimer, Lincoln/Lemington, Morningside, & Stanton Heights). * Donations may be dropped off daily at 113 Pacific Ave from 9 am to 5 pm. * Any toys and school supplies should fit into drawstring bags which will be packed and distributed along with coats; dolls of color are especially welcome. * Sign a child up for a free coat using this online form (https://hpccpgh.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ed770e831682d049448ee942c…) . * For more info, email nina(a)bloomfield-garfield.org (mailto:nina@bloomfield-garfield.org) Children's Toy Drive - through Dec 14th This event is organized by the Kiwanis Club of Wilkinsburg. * Drop off new, unwrapped toys at 915 Brinton Rd. * For more info contact 412-290-2243 or kiwanisclubofwilkinsburg(a)outlook.com (mailto:kiwanisclubofwilkinsburg@outlook.com) ** Sign up to be a snow angel ------------------------------------------------------------ Help a senior with their snow or sign-up if you need assistance.

Snow Angels also make our sidewalks safer for those who are outside during the winter weather – like postal carriers, firefighters, police officers, and other neighbors. ** Many thanks for food donations to Vintage Seniors ------------------------------------------------------------ Highland Park neighbors sent 100 bags of Thanksgiving food to Vintage Seniors, plus $100 in donations toward senior center programming. The center used the monetary donation to fund Pumpkin Pie Day on the Monday before Thanksgiving, and Vintage reports that the seniors were both surprised and delighted by the food donations. Many thanks to everyone who participated!

regarding a description of someone taking a package off a porch
by Joy 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

hi neighbors: recently, someone posted about seeing an apparent package theft happening on a front porch. the person who posted said he had notified the police. but his post also included a description of "an African American woman." i just wanted to say that this poster's description of the possible package-taker matches at least four of my Black woman neighbors—and that's just on my street. in our multi-racial neighborhood, his description of the "African American woman" creates more anxiety and stress than it does help police track package-takers. i don't think that this poster meant to cause anyone harm or stress; he thought he was being helpful. but if you believe you witness something, perhaps leave it at giving your description and eyewitness account to the police. joy, on heberton
