This special event sponsored by the Community Affairs Unit of the Miami Beach Police Departments is a part of October is Crime Prevention Month. Each October our nation celebrates Crime Prevention Month. What does that celebration mean to you? To your family? To your school? To your community? In our community it means joining togehter to help create safer places to live, learn, and play in October and all year long.
NCPC’s National Citizens’ Crime Prevention Campaign has been the hub of crime prevention activity in our country for 27 years. NCPC has been guided in its work by America’s beloved symbol of crime prevention, McGruff the Crime Dog®.
Together McGruff and NCPC have encouraged citizens to get involved in community safety through ads on television, radio, and in the newspaper; trained law enforcement officers in crime prevention; provided teachers and students with information on how to help create safer schools; shared safety tips with millions of children through the www.mcgruff.org website and with millions of adults through the www.ncpc.org website; and helped countless communities mobilize neighborhood groups and volunteers to fight crime.
Citizen involvement has played a vital role in helping communities stay safe. There is still work to be done. We know that young people are vital resources to their communities and can do a great deal to keep themselves, their homes, and their schools safe. If you or your family needs more information about how to prevent crime and build a safer, stronger community, please visit NCPC at www.ncpc.org or call 800-NCPC-911.
