Whereas McGruff the Crime Dog is an icon, recognized as the Nation's symbol for
crime prevention;
Whereas the National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign has inspired and
directed millions of citizens to take action, individually and
collectively, to reduce crime, drug abuse, and the fear of crime;

community organizations, including law enforcement, other State and
local agencies, civic and community groups, faith-based organizations,
schools, and businesses, to play a vital role in reducing crime and
building safer communities; and
Whereas the National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign is a leading example of
a campaign conducted by public and private individuals and entities on a
