Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Michigan is a non-profit anti-crime organization led by 350 Michigan police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, other law enforcement leaders, and crime survivors who know that some of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal to fight crime are programs proven to help kids get the right start in life - like high quality after-school programs, early childhood school readiness, child abuse and neglect prevention, and programs that get troubled kids back on track.

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Michigan evaluates crime prevention strategies, informs the public and policymakers about those findings, and urges investment in programs proven effective by research. We have three active e-lists to provide the most timely information on this work. The lists are: Early Education & Care, After-School, and Getting Troubled Kids Back on Track. For more information or to be added to a list, please contact State Director K.P. Pelleran.

Our School and Youth Violence Prevention Plan has been endorsed by the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, the Michigan Sheriffs' Association, and the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan.
