Mission Statement of the ACPA, Inc. The mission of the ACPA is to focus attention on local, state and regional issues related to crime

prevention and provide a forum for the exchange, coordination and teaching of ideas, concepts

and programs pertaining to the reduction of crime.

Description of Programs and Services

The Arizona Crime Prevention Association (ACPA) has been providing crime prevention services to Arizona since 1977 and officially became a Corporation in 1993. The majority of the Board of Directors is made up of individuals working in law enforcement as well as some successful, local business and community members. All members of the Board serve voluntarily and no paid staff exists. The purpose of the Arizona Crime Prevention Association is:

To provide a forum for the exchange, coordination, and teaching of ideas, concepts and programs pertaining to the reduction of crime. This is done by offering a variety of specialized training and education sessions, meetings, conferences and webinars for the citizen’s of Arizona as well as specialized training for law enforcement.

To focus attention on local, regional, state and national goals and issues relating to crime prevention. This is done through the development and delivery of specialized public programs and focused public advertisement. This includes the production and delivery of educational television commercials distributed and aired statewide as well as interviews for newspaper and radio stations on current crimes and prevention methodology.

To encourage extensive citizen and community involvement in the reduction of crime and criminal activity. Our organization does this through the hosting of various Citizen and Business Safety Forums. Offered annually in partnership with law enforcement throughout the state, these educational sessions provide an opportunity for individuals to gain knowledge about particular crime trends, programs, services and products. These sessions also gives individuals the opportunity to network with local police representatives.

To develop strategies which promote crime prevention planning and implementation for

Arizona citizens. Currently the ACPA, Inc. has developed a state database for distribution of police information to the general public called BoloCop. Through this program, the website allows law enforcement to easily distribute police related information and crime alerts directly to focused business and community members via email, text and/or facsimile transmittal. The website is www.Bolocop.com with plans to expand nationally in the future.

The organization provides the following programs and services:

1.) Specialized training: The ACPA, Inc. recruits, develops and delivers training on a variety of crime related issues to sworn and civilian members of law enforcement, corporate loss prevention staff, civic organizations, government and citizenry of the state.

2.) Child Identification Clinics: In partnership with law enforcement throughout the state

and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the ACPA, Inc. provides parents a laminated child identification card, as well as a cd of information specific to their child to include digital fingerprints, photos, video and audio files. These digital files can be easily emailed to law enforcement by the parents should it be necessary.

3.) Public Secured Shred: In partnership with law enforcement and various mobile shred

companies, the ACPA, Inc. hosts public, secured shredding. This opportunity allows citizen’s the ability to shred personal documents which reduces the chances of becoming a victim on identity theft.

4.) Crime Prevention Advertisement Campaigns: In partnership with law enforcement agencies throughout the state as well as various city cable and public television networks, the ACPA, Inc. produces and provides a variety of education and public safety prevention videos. These videos distributed through various police agencies assist in delivering messages to the general public about such current crime issues as the dangers of social networking sites, leaving property in your vehicle, theft of intellectual property and child safety.

5.) Statewide launch of a new program known as BOLOCop, which will allow police agencies

to prepare and send crime alerts statewide to focused business and community members. BOLOCop.com will be launched nationally in the future.

CRIME PREVENTION ORGANIZATION MAKING A BIG

EXPANSION

The Arizona Crime Prevention Association (ACPA) hosted a Crime Prevention Day February

13, 2013, at the Capitol to increase awareness of current crime prevention resources and

programs in Arizona.

68 legislators and their staff visited dozens of displays that provided information on how Arizona

law enforcement agencies, including the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, are keeping their

community safe.

The event also featured free document shredding. Shred It collection trucks were parked on 17th

Avenue for convenient drive-through access and MCAO volunteers helped shred 13,767 lbs. of

personal documents for the community. The MCAO investigators also collected nearly 70

pounds of prescription drugs to be safely destroyed, keeping them out of the hands of abusers.

Also in attendance was a couple of old favorites, McGruff, the Crime Dog and Deputy Do-Right.

The ACPA, is a non-profit organization made up predominantly of law enforcement agencies

like the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Since 1977, the group has brought law enforcement,

local businesses and community members together in an effort to prevent crime in Arizona.

ACPA also provides training across the state, hosts child ID and fingerprint clinics and holds

numerous public safety and prevention events throughout the year.

Most recently the ACPA embarked on implementing BOLOCOP (formerly FaxNet1). This

represents a major effort as they move from a statewide to a nationwide website platform (alert

system). The BOLOCOP website utilizes the most up-to-date technology in providing police

agencies an easy method of distributing crime-related information to local community and

business groups as well as linking possible crimes.
