One of the most important issues for communities across the country is crime prevention.
Safety has far-reaching effects on individuals and communities.
It not only impacts our sense of security, but it also has major impacts on neighborhood stability, economic development, education, and the quality of life. This has been accomplished through preventive measures, law enforcement and a criminal justice system, which emphasizes accountability and personal responsibility. Beginning with our children, everyone lives in a safe and secure environment. Larimer County has a higher arrest rate than the state, adult abuse reports, child abuse reports and substantiated incidents of abuse are higher than they were earlier in the 1990s. That information will tell us more about where we stand as a community.
