On this week’s episode of Keeping Kids Safe, Karen and Megan are joined by Paul DelPonte, the Executive Director of the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC). Paul’s work has focused on expanding the NCPC’s impact nationally—specifically via the introduction of McGruff the Crime Dog to a new generation of American children. October is National Crime Prevention month, and to commemorate the occasion the NCPC and McGruff the Crime Dog made an appearance at Capitol Hill!
Karen, Megan, and Paul discuss several tips and strategies to enhance your safety and the safety of your community, the fentanyl crisis, and—with Halloween right around the corner—how to keep your kids safe while trick-or-treating. How can you ensure your home and your neighborhood are safe? What is the best way to protect your children from cyberbullying? How can you raise children who balance the dangers of "stranger danger" with being polite and friendly young people? Get answers to these questions and more as we recognize National Crime Prevention Month.
