SANTA ANA : Deadbolts Offered to Senior Citizens
The Police Department is offering free deadbolt locks and installation to low-income seniors throughout the city.
So far, more than 400 free locks have been distributed to residents age 62 or older with annual incomes of less than $16,154, said Maureen Haacker, a police spokeswoman.
“Most have told us that they feel so much safer,” Haacker said.
The locks were purchased with money received through a federal community block grant. Haacker said the department should have enough locks for all senior citizens who meet the requirements.
For more information, call the Santa Ana Police Department at (714) 647-5093.
