Adopt-A-Cop
This program partners a law enforcement officer with a 3rd grade school classroom for the school year. An annual spring picnic brings together all of the adopted classes for one party.
Hospital Watch
This program is designed for employees and personnel of hospitals to inform them of safety and crime prevention steps available to them in a hospital setting.
Community Watch
This is one of the oldest types of programs and concepts in preventing crime in a specific neighborhood. The program’s success is based on the citizens’ involvement.
National Night Out
Annual event hosted by “block captains” in a specific neighborhood on a specific night set by the National Crime Prevention Council to lawfully protest crime.
