Teach Kids Crime Prevention When They Are Young

A large amount of police officers, roughly four hundred, have created a mission known as "Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Michigan." These officers are lobbying lawmakers on both state and federal levels to raise finances for early teaching and other crime prevention programs. These officers have received help from the Muskegon County's Great Start Collaborative, and they proposed their message to Muskegon last week. It was there that they met with roughly thirty people, which consisted of representatives from various education and health agencies, as well as city and county commissioners and lawmakers on a local level.

"We are advocates for improving programs that help direct children toward opportunity and success before they become delinquents," stated K.P. Pelleran, director of the Fight Crime initiative for the state of Michigan.

The officers and their associates called for more financial backing for preschool programs to help put a stop to child abuse and negligence as well as investing for after-school programs.
"The longer I'm in office, the more important I realize it is to focus on prevention," mentioned Tony Tague, who has been the Muskegon County's prosecutor for twenty-five years.
