Fight Crime: Invest
in Kids Illinois is made up of 170 Illinois police chiefs, sheriffs,
state's attorneys, and crime survivors. It is a joint project
of the national Fight Crime: Invest in Kids organization and the
Illinois Center for Violence Prevention (ICVP). Village of Worth
is a supporter and partner of the Illinois Center to Prevent Violence.
Fight Crime: Invest in Kids is a national, bipartisan, nonprofit
anti-crime organization of more than 3,000 police chiefs, sheriffs,
prosecutors, other law enforcement leaders and violence survivors.
Our national office
is in Washington, DC. We have state offices in California, Illinois,
Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee
and Washington.
Our members include
the top law enforcement leaders in the country, including presidents
of many state and national law enforcement associations. Among
our crime survivor members are the parents of children killed
at Columbine and other school shooting sites, survivors of the
Oklahoma City bombing, and many others whose tragic encounters
with crime are well known.
Fight Crime: Invest
in Kids takes a hard nosed look at crime prevention strategies,
informs the public and policymakers about those findings, and
urges investment in programs proven effective by research. Our
organization focuses on high quality early education programs,
prevention of child abuse and neglect, after-school programs
for children and teens, and interventions to get troubled kids
back on track. We do not fund or operate any direct service
programs for children.
Funding for Fight
Crime: Invest in Kids comes from private foundations, corporations
and individuals. Fight Crime: Invest in Kids receives no funds
from federal, state or local governments.
