Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, the National Crime Prevention Council, and AlertID Join Forces to Launch AlertID’s Live Safely™ Resource Center
Las Vegas, Nevada; Palo Alto, California; and Arlington, VA (PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- AlertID announced today the launch of its Live Safely™ Resource Center, which allows members to obtain critical information about how to keep families and communities safe. The information comes from trusted sources and addresses issues that families face every day including bullying, cell phone safety, conflict resolution, cyber bullying, fire safety, fraud and identity theft, gang violence prevention, school safety and missing persons, among many others.
The Resource Center provides detailed information and publications about each topic, program descriptions, and downloadable resources including coloring books, cartoons, and tips for children to learn how to protect themselves.
The Resource Center’s founding partners are the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education and the National Crime Prevention Council (home of McGruff the Crime Dog®). The Agassi Foundation is dedicated to transforming public education through the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, a K-12 tuition free public charter school in Las Vegas.
The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) is the national leader in crime prevention. Its information, tips, and advice have helped families and schools keep children and communities safer for more than 30 years, which is why McGruff is recognized by more than 80 percent of children. NCPC works directly with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country to help them address local crime and public safety concerns.
“We want to protect our children from the ever present challenges that they all face today. AlertID’s Live Safely Resource Center provides a safe and trusted place to find the information and resources that can help parents, teachers, and children make better decisions and change lives,” Andre Agassi, founder of the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, said. “We strongly support AlertID and its efforts.”
“Delivering critical public safety information that protects what matters most — you, your family, and your community – is an important part of the NCPC mission,” Ann M. Harkins, President and CEO of NCPC said. “We are pleased to partner with AlertID and to lend our valuable prevention information to the Live Safely Resource Center to further promote family safety.”
“AlertID is dedicated to helping families live safely, and the Resource Center provides a secure place to find the information and advice that can help people keep their families and communities safer,” Ken Wiles, CEO of AlertID said. “When parents search online for resources, the results may not come from reputable sources, can be out of date or simply not very helpful. The information contained in the Live Safely Resource Center only comes from trusted sources such as NCPC.”
