JERSEY CITY – Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy

A separate press conference will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, January 7, 2013, at the Police Department Property Room, 365 Summit Avenue (entrance off Newkirk Street), to display the results of the buyback and to discuss 2012 crime stats.

“We firmly believe that the fewer guns that are out there in our city, the safer all of our residents, businesses and visitors will be,” said Mayor Healy. “Our initiative is funded without taxpayer dollars and over the course of the past several years has resulted in nearly 1,300 guns being removed from the households and streets of our city.”

Since taking office in late 2004, Mayor Healy has hosted two gun buyback programs – the second with several phases – in which all funds used to pay for the weapons collected were raised from corporate and private donors as well as funds from the Hudson County Prosecutorâ€s Office forfeiture funds. During those buybacks in 2005, 2011 and 2012 a collective of 1,297 handguns, rifles and assault weapons were taken into police custody.

Like prior operations, the turning in of weapons for cash is considered an amnesty program, meaning those individuals turning in weapons need not fear prosecution for possession of such.

He is also a screenwriter who has penned television and cinematic scripts. Mr. Gallo produced theatre and dance projects in Los Angeles and New York and has been in charge of project development for film and television.

An experienced college instructor, Mr. Gallo has taught Playwriting, Acting, Screenwriting, Introduction to Film, Monologues for Auditions, Creative Writing, Introduction to Theater and other theater-related courses at the School of Visual Arts, Drew University, Kean University, Manhattan Marymount College, McCarter Theatre and Ohio University.
