The Calloway County Sheriff’s Office strives to
develop community service programs that promote
safety and well-being for the citizens of the
Murray and Calloway County area.
A nationwide program whose purpose is to promote safe firearms
handling and storage practices by partnering with governors,
lieutenant governors, U.S. Attorneys, community leaders and law
enforcement to distribute free safety kits to gun owners in all
states in order to promote safe storage of firearms in the home.
The Calloway County Sheriff’s Office has been participating in
Project ChildSafe, by distributing free gun locks since 2002.
Fatal-Vision is a program we offer to both high school age and older.
This program helps promote safe driving and drug and alcohol awareness.
Through the use of two sets of special goggles, the participant’s vision
is increasingly impaired much the same as it would be if they were using
drugs or alcohol.
While wearing the goggles, the participant is asked to perform some simple
tasks. Placing a cup of water on the corner of a table, walking a straight
line, dribbling a basketball, etc. This program provides "fun with a purpose".
This program is very popular at area high schools and is often requested by our
School Resource Officers (SRO).
