Callers receive unique codes to maintain anonymity throughout the process.Private sector support comes from James Morrell and the Morrell family businesses, including Destination Kia and Albany Broadcasting radio stations, providing $10,000 in initial funding. This investment supports approximately 28 handgun buybacks or 13 tip line rewards.The program operates in partnership with County Executive Dan McCoy, District Attorney Lee Kindlon, and Legislature Chairwoman Jo Cunningham. Future events will be announced with specific scheduling and location details as the mobile initiative expands.
