Short of money and have a gun to unload? Detroit police will take the cold, hard steel off your hands for cold, hard cash.

The department says in a release that it will pay $20 for every firearm turned in Saturday as part of a "Cash for Guns" program. There is no limit to the number of guns one person can turn in, but the program ends after the first 75 are collected.

Police Chief Warren Evans says by "getting unwanted and unused guns out of homes," accidental and unnecessary shootings can be prevented. Removing guns from city streets also is part of ongoing police enforcement efforts.

Saturday's gun buyback will be held in the gym at St. Cecilia Church on the city's northwest side.
