ABOUT US
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.
