Central Alabama CrimeStoppers is pleased to announce the results of their September 21, 2024, Gun buyback event.

In partnership with the City of Montgomery and the Montgomery Police Department, CrimeStoppers hosted their second Gun Buyback for 2024. The Buyback was held at True Devine Baptist Church located at 4601 Troy Highway, Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday, September 21, 2024.

The buyback received a tremendous public response, bringing in 106 firearms within the first two and a half hours of the event. The event was so successful that CrimeStoppers ran out of cash that was being paid out for firearms.

CrimeStoppers paid out $8,000.00 for 106 firearms received, with each firearm being destroyed onsite.

This event takes guns out of the hands of those who do not want them and prevents those firearms from being stolen and used for harm or criminal activity.  CrimeStoppers offers this event as a way for the public to dispose of unwanted firearms with no questions asked.

CrimeStoppers would like to thank its Board of Directors for volunteering their time to this worthy cause, the media, the City of Montgomery, the Montgomery Police Department, and the community for helping spread the word about this initiative and making it a tremendous success.

This is yet another example of the community, media, and law enforcement working together to make our community safer.
