- Free Gun Safety Locks Are Available to East Windsor Residents During March as part of Township-sponsored Gun Safety Program. The Township is sponsoring this proactive safety initiative to promote improved gun safety, as these gun locks if properly used can help keep guns out of the hands of children and prevent accidental deaths and injuries in the home. The gun locks are available to East Windsor at no cost through Project Child Safe, a national firearms safety program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Free gun safety locks can be obtained at the Township police court building (80 One Mile Road) by contacting Detective Brian Gorski at (609) 448-5678, ext. 236.

The groups are expected to perform clean-up three times per month from April 1 through November 30.
