Council is to help people keep themselves, their families and
their communities safe from crime through various programs,

the official month for recognizing and celebrating the practice
of crime prevention; and

WHEREAS, The National Crime Prevention Council partners with
prevention organizations, justice advocates and other
professionals to build and sustain relationships with citizens
and public officials to promote a national crime prevention
agenda that will reduce the incidence of crimes, while helping
communities identify and address the underlying causes of
crimes; and

WHEREAS, This year's Crime Prevention Month marks the 33rd
birthday of McGruff the Crime Dog, the trench-coat-wearing icon
of the National Crime Prevention Council, who has taught tens of
millions of Americans to "Take a Bite Out of Crime"; and

WHEREAS, Crime Prevention Month brings together government
agencies, civic groups, schools, businesses and youth
organizations in a joint effort to promote awareness of
important issues such as victimization, volunteerism and

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate the
month of October 2013 as "Crime Prevention Month" in
Pennsylvania.
