Project ChildSafe - Gun Locks
- Project ChildSafe is a nationwide program dedicated to promoting
safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearms
owners through the distribution of free gun locking
devices. The program is supported by a U.S. Department of
Justice Grant, the National Shooting Sports Foundation and is a
component of Project Safe Neighborhoods. The Irmo Police
Department is proud to be part of this program and will provide free
gun locking devices during normal business hours (there is no limit
to the number of locks).
Child Seat Inspection -
We have four full time personnel available for Child Seat Inspection
every Friday from 11:00 to 2:00. They can assist with every
type of vehicle and Child Seat. Please call (803)
781-8088 to for an appointment. Unintentional injuries
are the number one killer of children under 14 years of age.
It is always a smart idea to have a certified inspector verify your
installation (the inspection is free).

Program - This service is provided free to all resident
children from birth until 17 years old. You will receive a
booklet that contains places to enter the complete information on
your child, a photo and information on how to keep your child

fingerprints so you can be assured a good set. The program is
also available to residents who suffer from Alzheimer's or other
forms of dementia. This service is available on Tuesdays from
9:00 to 10:00 am and then again from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Your
child must be present (a record will be maintained at the police
department).

daycare, school, church, workplace or any other community
event. We offer many specialized programs (including McGruff
the Crime Dog) to fit your needs. These programs have to
be scheduled in advance through the Community Relations Officer (they
are free of charge).
Serving Our Seniors (SOS) -
The Irmo Police Department has developed the Serving Our Seniors
program to assist the seniors in town. We offer community
programs for education ("How to Avoid Scams"), various
safety and health classes. SOS members are routinely contacted to
