A public awareness and education project is a way to bring a certain issue to the attention of a group of people. This type of project can take many forms, ranging from a poster contest to a fair at a local mall or a program on one of your town's radio or television stations. A public awareness and education project is a great way to highlight the need for crime prevention in your community. The important thing is to get key prevention information out to your target audience (youth, adults, or children) and encourage them to take action in preventing or reducing crime.
