Crime Prevention Committee
The Two Rivers Crime Prevention Committee (TRCPC) is continually working on crime prevention initiatives. The purpose of the committee is to bring the citizens of Two Rivers updated information, facts and safety tips in hopes to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life in our community. So be aware of your and your neighbor’s surroundings and call the Two Rivers Police if you see anything suspicious.
The TRCPC in conjunction with the Police Department work together on many projects and events including:
• Project Safe Child – a photo is taken of your child and materials are provided to parents to safe keep DNA and personal information in the event your child would go missing. The project takes place at local schools and during certain community events.
• Community Care Day – TRCPC’s annual fundraiser in early August where citizens get the opportunity to dunk their favorite officer or other local celebrity in the dunk tank. Handouts on crime prevention are also available.
• National Night Out – an annual event in early August where the TRCPC encourages citizens to have block parties, be out in their neighborhood and have their porch lights on to show unity against criminal activity. The event kicks off at a local park with many fun activities, music and displays from many local public safety agencies.
• Christmas Fantasy Parade – TRCPC enters a float in the parade to raise awareness for crime prevention. The committee also sponsors a coloring contest for Pre K – 4th grade children where winners get to ride in one of the parade police cars or ride on the float.
• Ethnic Fest – food and refreshments are available for purchase at the police department’s command post with the proceeds helping fund the work of the committee.
• Scholarship Program – a $250 scholarship is awarded annually to a Manitowoc County resident who is pursuing a degree in a law enforcement related field. See our Scholarship Award Program in "Forms & Documents" Link below.
• McGruff House – see link to McGruff House in "Forms & Documents" below.
These projects help benefit our community and Police Dept. We are always looking for new members and urge residents to consider joining our group or attending our next meeting as a guest. The TRCPC meets the 4th Thursday of the month at the Police Dept. at 7 P.M.
If you wish to join or learn more, please call the Two Rivers Police Department at 793-1191 or e-mail us at crimeprevention@two-rivers.org.
