Why Practice Crime Prevention?
 

For the simple reason that we all suffer because of crime.  Consider:

1.    The fear of walking the streets alone

2.    Insecurity in your own home, neighborhood, or school

3.    Over extended police protection

4.    Overcrowded courts

5.    Higher taxes to support law enforcement and the judicial and corrections systems

6.    Higher prices to cover the costs of stolen merchandise

7.    Rising insurance costs

8.    The loss of property all the insurance in the world can’t replace – those special items that represent those special memories

9.    and finally, the most serious aspect, personal injury or death.

When it comes to serious offenses such as Aggravated Assault, Rape and Homicide, will it really matter how quickly the police respond, investigate, arrest and convict the criminal if you or your loved ones are seriously injured or killed?  Will good police work heal physical injury, erase emotional scars or bring the dead back to life?  Of course not! You are the person most responsible for your personal safety.  That’s why it’s so important for you to practice crime prevention.
