Celebrate Crime Prevention and Local Communities Making a Difference

Take time to Celebrate Safe Communities by organizing local celebrations from October 2-4, 2008. Help America’s communities Take A Bite Out Of Crime®!

Celebrate Safe CommunitiesThank you for visiting the Celebrate Safe Communities website. NCPC is hosting the site on behalf of our partners, the National Sheriffs Association and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.

On behalf of our partners, we welcome you and look forward to working with you.

Register your local initiative so you can receive updates, information, resources, and a chance for future CSC awards and recognition. If you already have an NCPC.org account, you can simply log in and proceed to register your local initiative. If you don’t, creating an account is free and easy! First, create an account on NCPC.org, set your password by clicking the link in the email you’ll receive, and then log in. We will be in touch with you and look forward to supporting you in your crime prevention efforts.

Long-time partners in crime prevention, the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA), the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) are teaming up on Celebrate Safe Communities (CSC), an exciting new project designed to help local law enforcement agencies and their community partners kick-off celebrations of Crime Prevention Month every October!

Tell us about your local initiative!

When you register your local initiative, it is eligible for recognition and awards. Join the celebration and we'll connect you with resources and tools to make your event a success and, at your option, provide a way for people to contact you for an activity ideas exchange!

NSA, NCPC, and BJA are eager to assist your department in educating, mobilizing, and thanking all the residents, businesses, and others helping to keep your community safe from crime!

 

CSC is designed to spotlight communities’ crime prevention efforts, enhance public awareness of vital crime prevention and safety messages, and recruit year-round support for ongoing prevention activities that help keep neighborhoods safe from crime. This initiative will help local communities organize safety-focused events. Local CSC activities held in October to coincide with Crime Prevention Month will help Americans of all ages recognize that a safer community is no accident and that crime prevention is everyone’s business every day of the year.
