In 1984, October was designated as Crime Prevention Month through a Presidential proclamation. Since then, NCPC has been working with local law enforcement, government agencies, civic groups, schools, businesses, and other organizations to help them spread the word about crime prevention and personal safety. With shrinking law enforcement budgets across the country, the role that each of us can play in preventing crime is more important than ever.

Although, the month is coming to an end, we would still like to acknowledge that it is self care awareness month. It is always important that we take time for ourselves and our mental health. The beautiful thing about self care is it is specific to each person. For some, it might be hitting the gym and for others it may be taking a relaxing bath. Whatever your needs are or what your go to self care is, we encourage you to start or continue the wonderful habit of self care.
