About McGruff SafeGuard
McGruff SafeGuard is a simple, free service designed to help parents manage their kids’ increasingly dangerous online activity. The service intelligently monitors ALL internet activity for potential danger.
The service allows parents to conveniently review their kids’ activities on a secure website, or to be notified of potentially dangerous situations via cell phone and email alerts.
McGruff SafeGuard alerts parents to dangerous behavior, such as Internet predators, sexual abuse, drug use, or criminal activity, and provides helpful advice to parents on how to deal with certain issues.
McGruff SafeGuard is also the first and only service to electronically connect parents with law enforcement in their common battle against Internet sexual predators.
McGruff SafeGuard is a partnership between the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and ParentsOnPatrol (POP).

Back in 1980, a dog in a rumpled trench coat said, “You don’t know me yet. But you will.” Since then, McGruff the Crime Dog has become world famous for his advice on how to stop crime before it happens. Over the years, he has taught millions of people that the police can’t fight crime alone — crime prevention is everybody’s business and everyone can help “Take A Bite Out Of Crime.”
