McGruff Promotes Crime Prevention of a brown dog in a n trenchcoat, Tooele City Because school-childre- are more knowledgeable about crime prevention and home safety than most parents. This phenomenon is not hard to believe after learning what the local police department is doing to educate young students about crime, and safety within the home. Under the direction of Detective Tom Adams from the Tooele Police Crime Department, "McGruff-Th- e Fighting Dog Safety Program, is alive and well at load elementary schools. Perhaps you have seen McGruff in animated form on Saturday mornings sandwiched and cartoons between commercials. But animation is not what local schoolchildren get. Instead, they get the real living McGruff, trench-coa- t and all. Because of this novelty and professional presentations, at McGruff has been Tooeles four elementary and vard ious However, according to Detective Tom Adams, who admits to a special love for children and spends about 40 percent of his work time in juvenile resources, the effects from this programs crime prevention emphasis will not be felt for years to come. s. The police detective said McGruff is oriented to the young, impressionable schoolchildren and only after they grow older and are tempted by peer pressure or other influences, may the educational efforts come to fruition in decreasing juvenile crime statistics. It All Began The McGruff safety program How started locally when school commenced last fall. However, the actual genesis of the program dates back to 1982, after receiving recog nition by Utah Hands Up (a volunteer group against crime), the Parents Teachers Association, and the Utah Association of Women. But the drawing board goes back even further for the McGruff program that is making headway throughout the state's educational system. The crime fighting dog's presence in Utah is the result of two women who wanted to fight back against a growing child abduction rate. These two women, who are friends and relatives of missing children, decided to join their efforts and do something about the state's child abduction problem. They first approached the Utah Association of Women with an 'idea. That idea was a proposal to implement the McGruff Crime Fighting Dog as a symbol for a statewide program. McGruff was chosen because of its national recognition among children through the National Ad Council's media campaign, "Take A Bite Out of Crime. Members of the association backed the idea, and soon other crime prevention groups followed. Stranger Danger Having a strong symbol that is recognized nationally among children, the McGruff program begins with an emphasis on educating youngsters about "Stranger an element of the proDanger gram designed to reduce the number of child abductions. But the program goes beyond teaching children not to trust strangers. The community gets involved too, with "McGruff Safety Neighbors chosen by the local police department.
