Based on empirical data, these programs have not exhibited productive numbers, and therefore, APD felt it was not worth recommending for any future crime prevention efforts.
AUSTIN, Texas — The City of Austin’s Safer 6th Street initiative is still in the works, with plans to establish greater security measures to lessen crime in the area. After theon June 12, 2021, in which one man was killed and 13 injured, the city went into high gear to find relief to the constant violence.
According to APD, in 2010, they issued out $30,000 in gift cards with 340 weapons collected. In 2011, $40,000 was awarded to participants, with 396 weapons turned in. APD pushed forward with a “no questions asked” gun surrender program in 2020, so people could submit their unwanted firearms and ammunition safely at the Robert T. Martinez Central East Substation during its quarterly events. That was soon canceled on Sep. 22, given that the pandemic had overtaken the world. However, those who planned to attend could call 3-1-1 to have officers perform at-home pickups.
