What is National Crime Prevention Month?
October is National Crime Prevention Month, a time to reflect on the importance of safety and security in our communities. While crime can be a scary topic, this month encourages a proactive approach, empowering individuals and organizations to work together for a safer future. This emphasizes the idea that crime prevention isn’t solely the responsibility of law enforcement; it’s a shared responsibility. Each member of a community has a role to play, whether it’s being aware of your surroundings, taking steps to protect your property, or simply being a good neighbor.
