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.
Donations are needed to purchase McGruff prevention education materials such as coloring books, stickers and pencils for school assemblies, health and safety fairs, during Crime Prevention Month, National Night Out events and other community events related to the safety of children. Donations are also needed for our anonymous tip taking methods such as our 24 hour answering service, web and smart phone tip submit applications and our dedicated toll-free hotline number.
