The Deer Lake Citizens Crime Prevention Committee has been in existence for approximately nine years now and since then we have been trying to answer questions, or analyze answers to questions ,that have been asked for years;" why do people want to steal what others have worked so hard to aquire honestly? Why do certain individuals feel a need to bully their way through life? Why do certain people want to destroy beautification projects in a municipality?
The answers to these questions have been answered, somewhat, by psychiatrists and data derived from years of case histories from law enforcement agencies.
We have been provided with the reasons that most of these criminal acts occur and our existence stems from a need to offer law enforcement agencies much needed assistance in educating the public, not from our expertise or experience in any particular matter, but by offering another avenue in which to channel information to young people about the need to be their own person and not be easily led by a few who are looking for an easy life, at that persons expense, and ultimately leading them  down a road of destruction where the return path could take a lifetime.
