-West nurses honored
during national week
(NUS) - In Chicago. Bennie Meeks
got so angry at the devastation illegal
drugs were causing in his commu-
nity, he said “no more." Worried for
retirees and for children, he organized
neighbors to march against crime.
At the Battelle Memorial Insti-
tute in Columbus, Ohio, 100 volun-
teers in an Office Watch program
cut crime and gave a new sense of
security to 3,000 employees.
Efforts like these around the coun-
try are proving that individuals can
make a difference in preventing crime.
“Crime prevention must go be-
yond self-protection,” says John A.
Calhoun, executive director of the
National Crime Prevention Council
(NCPC). “Individual safety is not
enough. Safety is most important
because it spurs civic activity and
supports a healthy community life.
With McGruff the Crime Dog as
its symbol, NCPC oversees the Na-
tional Citizens' Crime Prevention
of the Crime Prevention Coalition, a
133-member organization. The fo-
cus is simple, as McGruff puts it:
“Take a Bite Out of Crime.”
Its mission is to prevent crime
and create safe communities. Beyond
encouraging the involvement of in-
dividuals, NCPC shows how organi-
zational partnerships can make a
significant impact.
NCPC says each neighborhood
and community needs to develop its
own solutions to its specific crime
prevention needs.
To help you, the NCPC offers a vari-
ety of educational materials about pre-
vention techniques and how to develop
effective community efforts. Their woik
is funded in part by the U.S. Department
of Justice and conducted in cooperation
with the Advertising Council. For more
