National Crime Prevention Council is an American educational 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. whose mission is to enable people to create safer and more caring communities by addressing the causes of crime, drugs and violence and reducing the opportunities for crime to occur.

National Crime Prevention Council is perhaps best known for its character McGruff the Crime Dog, a Bloodhound dog mascot created to educate children about crime prevention.

Carl M. Loeb, Jr., was a former vice chairman of the board of directors of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. Loeb left that group in order to found the National Crime Prevention Council in 1982, where he served as its chairman.
