The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) is the nation’s leader in crime prevention. As a private, nonprofit organization, NCPC helps millions of Americans keep themselves, their families, and their communities safe from crime. NCPC’s work is funded by a variety of government agencies–including the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Assistance and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office–along with numerous foundations and individual donations. Dedicated corporate sponsors help us reach millions of Americans nationwide.

NCPC’s flagship public education campaign—symbolized by McGruff the Crime Dog® and his iconic “Take A Bite Out Of Crime” catchphrase—has broadened its scope from strengthening personal and home safety to include cyberbullying, anti-counterfeiting and gun safety. To support this outreach, NCPC has established a national network of nearly 15,000 crime prevention professionals and national, federal, state, and local organizations through the Crime Prevention Coalition of America and the National Crime Prevention Association.

To remember and to celebrate the people lost to the fentanyl epidemic, McGruff The Crime Dog® and the National Crime Prevention Council are launching The Lives Project: A Digital Remembrance Quilt.
