The announcement describes a distribution effort, not a guarantee that every location still has supplies. Project ChildSafe Little Rock announcement.
The participating organizations include the Little Rock Police Department, Little Rock Fire Department and Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office.

Future evaluation would need to look beyond how many locks were announced and ask whether people received usable guidance and maintained secure storage afterward.
