National Crime Prevention Council

National Crime Prevention Council Helping communities "Take A Bite Out Of Crime®." NCPC operates demonstration programs in schools and neighborhoods.

NCPC manages a public education campaign—symbolized by McGruff the Crime Dog® and his “Take A Bite Out Of Crime®” slogan. Our strategic goals are to promote crime prevention; partner with government, law enforcement, the private sector, and communities to prevent crime; protect children, youth, and other vulnerable populations; and anticipate and respond to emerging crime trends. We have an extens

ive national crime prevention network of crime prevention professionals and national, federal, state, and local organizations. NCPC publishes books, kits of camera-ready program materials, posters, and informational and policy reports on a variety of crime prevention and community-building subjects. NCPC offers training, technical assistance, and a national focus for crime. NCPC hosts www.mcgruff.org’s Milstein Child Safety Center for children, which has games, stories, and advice from McGruff, and www.ncpc.org for adults, which offers topical prevention tips, describes prevention practices for community building, and helps anchor prevention policy and activities at the local level. Now, more than two generations after McGruff’s first TV appearance, more than 83 percent of children, teens, and adults recognize him, and over 1,500 law enforcement agencies use McGruff costumes to spread the word about prevention. Thanks to NCPC and McGruff, Americans know how to “Take A Bite Out Of Crime.”

Today, World Anti-Counterfeiting Day, is an important reminder to keep it real, don't fall for fakes.

The sale of counterfeit products is a $2 trillion criminal enterprise that affects every industry and causes fires, skin rashes, and even death, especially with the sale of fake pills. International organized criminals use counterfeits to fund illegal activities like gang violence, child labor, and human trafficking.

Buying real means supporting brands that invest in research and development to make quality goods that last long and are safe to use.
