At County Housing, we are deeply committed to the safety and well-being of our residents, guests, and employees. To reinforce this commitment, we are introducing a new Firearms and Weapons Policy, which became effective earlier this year.
This policy has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the safety and security of our communities. We understand the importance of balancing safety with respect for individual rights, and this policy aims to provide clear guidelines on the possession and handling of firearms and weapons within County Housing properties.
