N.E.E.D.S Program- Special Needs Education
Grounding those we love with critical preventative education information to keep them safe while supporting those who care for them.
The Crime Stoppers NEEDS (Neurodiversity, Educate, Empower, Deliver, Safety) Program’s mission is to champion the safety, well-being, and empowerment of the special needs community by proactively preventing crimes against this vulnerable population and fostering knowledge of risks and safety solutions among those who live with and serve them.
