Community Safety Initiatives

It takes an ISLAND to support all MI youth! Learn about current initiatives to keep youth and families safe and healthy.

Lock it Up - King County's Lock It Up program’s mission is to promote safety in our communities by increasing safe firearm storage. Storing guns locked up when they're not on you is the best way to prevent curious kids from getting hurt with firearms, youth and adults in crisis from using a family firearm for suicide, and firearms from being stolen and misused by others.

E-Bike Safety - E-bikes have become an increasingly popular choice to get around, especially for Island youth. The City of Mercer Island and the Mercer Island School District have partnered to provide students and families with information to keep youth safe. Learn about the different types of bikes and the laws and safety tips.

No More Under - Water safety is important knowledge for everyone to have, and it is essential for our community where water sports and play are part of Island life. Learn safety tips and gather resources from No More Under, a non-profit dedicated to saving lives through water safety education, legislation, and increasing equitable access to swimming lessons and tools.
