Johnson County Crime Stoppers

Children are our most precious resource and every child deserves a safe and healthy childhood. Unfortunately, because of their vulnerability, children are popular targets for molesters, drug dealers and other predatory criminals. It is time to help build schools and neighborhoods where each of us... kids, teens and adults can feel safe and secure from crime. By working with children and teaching them crime prevention measures, we can substantially reduce the chances of child victimization. By instilling proper decision-making skills and addressing the social and emotional aspects surrounding things like peer pressure and substance abuse, we can make strides in preventing future cases involving children. Research shows that there is less crime where communities are working together. A safe community starts with teaching young children how to stay safe. Utilizing McGruff the Crime Dog costume and safety materials is know to make a lasting impact on students. Crime Stoppers is a proven and valuable tool in assisting law enforcement in the fight to keep our communities and schools a safer place to live, work and learn.
