Partnering with Law Enforcement to Prevent Crime

Dedicated to the crime prevention practitioner, the Crime Prevention Month Kit 2006-2007, Partnering with Law Enforcement to Prevent Crime is here!  This year’s kit is designed to extend resources and enhance efforts through partnering with law enforcement and other organizations.  The kit, in 12-month calendar form, provides strategies and reproducible materials to help communities work together with law enforcement to prevent and reduce crime.  The strategies and program examples for each month illustrate ways to build on traditional crime prevention practices through partnerships.  The materials and resources in the kit are intended for use in everyday outreach, newsletters, special events, public service announcements, and targeted media campaigns.  The kit is filled with ready-to-go resources for the law enforcement officer or community partner looking to educate communities on the basics of crime prevention and how people can work together with law enforcement to help “Take A Bite Out of Crime.”
