Ignitus Worldwide (formally Youth Crime Watch of America)
Ignitus Worldwide expands upon the mission established by Youth Crime Watch of America in 1979, empowering young people with the knowledge, confidence and courage to take control of their own destiny, and shape their own world.

But this is only the beginning. The plan is to constantly evolve and adapt to the needs of each generation.By preparing today’s young people to be active and engaged members of their communities, Ignitus is laying the foundation for them to become active and engaged adults.
Safe Routes to Schools
Safe Routes to School programs enable community leaders, schools and parents across the United States to improve safety and encourage more children to safely walk and bicycle to school. In the process, programs are working to reduce traffic congestion and improve health and the environment, making communities more livable for everyone.
Meth Watch – WA
The Washington Meth Watch Program is a collaborative initiative, which began in Spokane County by the Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council (GSSAC) and the Spokane County Meth Action Team to curtail drug lab activity by making the theft or purchase of precursor products more difficult. Since inception, it has grown from a core group of retailers using signage, educating employees, and reporting suspicious activity, to a broad membership of businesses linked together to prevent theft, fraud, and abuse in our community. Our group consists of Grocery Markets, Drug Stores, Convenience Stores, Auto Parts Stores, Pet/Farming Supply Stores, Banks, Credit Unions, Security Firms, Property Managers, and Storage Facilities. The strong community partnerships and proactive involvement of business owners and citizens alike, has made this prevention program a success throughout the state of Washington.
Waste Watch
Truck drivers from Waste Management are likely on your street every day. The drivers are familiar with their routes, so they're often the first to notice when something is amiss. As a community partner, Waste Management assists local police and fire departments by acting as extra eyes and ears on local streets. Through the Waste Watch program, WM provides training to drivers in what to look for and how to report suspicious or criminal activity to local authorities.
