McGruff The Crime Dog

• History of McGruff
• In 1978, the Advertising Council, Inc., accepted
  the mission of helping the nation learn ways to
  prevent crime. The Ad Council gave the assignment
  to Dancer Fitzgerald Sample (now Saatchi
  Saatchi), which volunteered its creative time and
  talent. That work was supported and informed by a
  group of 19 agencies, which formed the nucleus of
  the Crime Prevention Coalition of America. Today
  the National Crime Prevention Council manages the
  National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign,
  featuring McGruff the Crime Dog and his slogan,
  "Take A Bite Out Of Crime.
• Over the years, McGruff has made thousands of
  appearances at community and school events and on
  radio and television. His messages have changed
  from urging personal, family, and home security
  to more broadly based crime prevention concerns.
  In 1984, the U.S. Postal Service released a
  first-class postage stamp bearing McGruffs
  likeness. By the mid-1980s, McGruff was
  encouraging people to join Neighborhood Watch and
  clean up streets and parks so theyd be less
  inviting for criminals. During the mid-1990s, the
  Campaign addressed the effects of gun-related
  violence on children. Current issues include
  volunteering, bullying, Internet safety, and
  identity theft. And McGruff will soon tackle
  cyber bullying and telemarketing fraud against
  seniors.
• Some Facts About McGruff
• There are 4,000 active McGruffs (number of
  costumes in use).
• McGruff has a classy Corvette, a monster truck in
  Arizona, and a wiener wagon in Florida. But most
  of all, he likes to ride in patrol cars assisting
  law enforcement.
• McGruffs favorite crime-fighting techniques are
  to teach children specific tips to be safe at
  home and school and to help law enforcement
  officers do their jobs better.
• McGruff is a ham, so he loves doing public
  service announcements for television and radio or
  posing for print or billboard advertising.
• In 2005, McGruff turned 25 years young. He had
  birthday parties all around the country, making
  appearances at health and safety fairs and other
  media events and showing off his 32-foot-tall
  balloon at county and state fairs. He has blown
  out birthday candles on countless cakes. He has
  made the most of these opportunities to spread
  the word about preventing crime.
