Do you have your 2007-2008 Crime Prevention Cards?

Recently, the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association issued their latest Crime Prevention Cards. What a great way to help prevent crime, promote safety and endorse a crime-free environment in Minnesota!

These cards include pictures of the Minnesota Wild Hockey Team and the crime dog, “McGruff”. The McGruff card promotes prevention of theft at school. Picture cards of the Wild hockey players promote pedestrian safety, stolen property information, winter sports safety, sportsmanship, prevention of cyber bullying , kindness and respect, bus safety and prescription drug awareness. You can see the card lineup on the MCPA site.

The Crime Prevention Cards are available from all law enforcement agencies. These agencies are looking to build positive relationships with the young people in their communities and provide them with important crime prevention and safety information. Parents are encouraged to review these cards with their children so they can reinforce safety and prevention.

For a small yearly fee, anyone in the business community is encouraged to join in the effort. The Minnesota Crime Prevention web site has developed many opportunities for communities throughout Minnesota to encourage a crime-free environment. Check out their Community Resource section. This section promotes the trading cards, crime free multi-housing, and national night out.
