In 2005 I created a crime prevention program for troubled youth, which also involved children battling illnesses, in the Children’s Hospital of Iowa. The program was called the Guardian Angel Project. The Guardian Angel Project in Keokuk Iowa ran from 2005 until 2011. The program also was adopted by police departments in Canada and Pennsylvania. These programs followed the model that we had created at the Keokuk Police Dept. As crime coordinator with the Keokuk Police Dept, I also worked with those other agencies around the country to incorporate the guardian angel project effectively as we had in Keokuk.
