The London Police Service says it will take part in a province-wide gun amnesty program next month.
Starting Apr. 1, police won’t recommend weapons-related criminal code charges that might otherwise apply to people who are turning in a firearm as long as they haven’t been used in the commission of a crime.
The program will run for the entire month of April. It will be a collaboration between the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and local municipal police services across Ontario.
