McGruff is the Big Dog on Campus.

McGruff spent March 25^th at one of the nation’s most prestigious law schools, Georgetown University Law School in Washington, DC. Georgetown University’s Public Safety Office had decided that the law students needed to get involved in crime prevention and learn how to protect themselves and their communities.

Officers from the Public Safety Office, led by Communications Officer Anil Mohabir, hosted an all-day on-campus appearance by McGruff, and officers passed out crime prevention materials, many of which they had downloaded free from NCPC’s website. They also gave out Georgetown University publications. The focus was “preventing crime in your community” and personal safety.

As universities are preparing for graduation and summer break, they should still be conscious of the threats that affect their students. Be proactive, don’t wait for an incident to occur, get out there and start talking to students and give them crime prevention information. Remember, crime prevention is everyone’s business and everyone needs to keep themselves, their families, and their communities—including college campuses—safe from crime.
