What is The Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program?

The Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program teaches children in Pre-K through third grade four important steps to take if they find a gun. These steps are presented by a New Caney ISD police officer and the program's mascot, Eddie Eagle, in an easy-to-remember format consisting of the following simple rules:

1. STOP
2. Don't Touch
3. Leave the Area
4. Tell an Adult

The New Caney ISD Police Department has participated in the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program in our elementary schools since 2001. In 2009, the department entered and won a contest for an "official" Eddie Eagle mascot, hosted by the NRA. To learn more about the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program and gun safety visit Eddie Eagle.
