The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) is hosting a Gun Buy Back Event on June 28, 2025, where community members can turn in the firearm(s) to receive a gift card. The event is sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn’s office. 

Gift cards will be valued as follows: $50 for non-functioning firearms, $100 for working pistols, rifles and shotguns, $200 for ghost guns (guns with no serial numbers) and $300 for assault rifles. 

 The value of the firearms, such as 3D-printed firearms will be determined at the event. 

“I am pleased to be partnering with the county on this upcoming Gun Buy Back. This is an opportunity to raise community awareness and focus on reducing gun violence" said LBPD Chief Wally Hebeish. “We remain committed to supporting programs which can reduce the availability and accessibility of firearms in our community.” 

The LBPD adopted a multi-faceted strategy to make the city safer. This event provides the community an incentive to anonymously surrender firearms that could otherwise be used in an unlawful manner. 

“We know that guns are the problem," said LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn. "This is part of a series of gun buybacks I am organizing with law enforcement agencies across my district to give residents an opportunity to get guns out of their homes and help make their community safer. To date, we have taken 2,388 guns off the street.”  

Those participating are directed to enter the event with the unloaded firearm(s) in their vehicle’s trunk. Community members will be instructed to remain in their vehicle while Detectives recover the firearm(s). Community members will then receive gift card(s) and the firearm(s) will be secured with the LBPD’s Forensics Science Services Division.
