Celebrate Safe Communities
Celebrate Crime Prevention and Local Communities Making a Difference
USAonwatch through Neighborhood Watch empowers citizens in our communities with the opportunity to volunteer to work toward the safety of our homeland.
National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) has great resources to help law enforcement engage businesses, schools, families, and neighborhoods in local CSC initiatives. Check out the Celebrate Safe Communities Special Feature.
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 initiative designed to help local law enforcement agencies and their community partners kick off celebrations of Crime Prevention Month every October!
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.
