Full Notification

Last week while attending the International Chiefs of Police Conference in Orlando, FL., Janesville Police Chief David Moore was recognized amongst police chiefs across the entire country to be recognized for his investments into at-risk youth.

Chief Moore has been a strong voice for evidence-based policies that support families and steer kids away from crime. Chief Moore has pushed for additional funding to support voluntary home visiting programs, which coach parents to provide safe, nurturing environments in a child’s earliest years.

When Congress failed to reauthorize the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program before it expired in 2017, Chief Moore sought out and participated in a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan to ensure the Speaker knew law enforcement leaders around the country saw home visiting as a key crime prevention tool. MIECHV was reauthorized in early 2018 for five years, ensuring thousands of families will continue to receive services. In addition, Chief Moore has served on the Fight Crime: Invest in Kids National Leadership Council and has helped build the membership in Wisconsin by connecting staff with the Wisconsin Police Executives Group and recruiting other chiefs.
