The #JakeLairdAct provides grants to encourage states to adopt laws, similar to IN’s 2005 Jake Laird Law, that enable local law enforcement, w/probable cause, to temporarily remove & retain firearms from individuals who are determined to be an imminent danger to themselves/others
This grant funding will equip police officers w/training & additional resources needed to deescalate life-threatening crisis situations & prevent future potentially deadly events from occurring in the 1st place. Since 2005, IN’s Jake Laird Law has been used +700 times in Indy.
