To implement the Guardian Angel Project an agency will need a ceramic instructor, citizen role models, facilities to paint the angels, a hospital partnership, and transportation to the hospital on the day your program delivers the angels.

The Keokuk Police Department has created a guide kit to assist other law enforcement agencies in implementing the Guardian Angel Project as part of their crime prevention efforts.

This kit includes a 48 page guidebook, which will give advice on how to coordinate and implement the Guardian Angel Project. Also included in this kit is an informative DVD presentation titled "The Power Of Compassion". This presentation will allow participating agencies to show in a matter of minutes, what the program has to offer, and what it accomplishes.

We have also created a preliminary information packet that interested agencies may download as they consider implementing this program. The Guardian Angel Project is a law enforcement crime prevention program, therefore private citizens and organizations cannot purchase a guide kit or coordinate a Guardian Angel Project on their own, however you are welcome to download the preliminary information packet and present the information to your local law enforcement for their consideration.

An agency wishing to start a Guardian Angel Project through their department must sign the Guardian Angel Project agreement, which is included in the informational packet and is also available to be downloaded by itself through the link at the bottom of this page. This agreement states participating agencies will honor the basic principles and stipulations of the program.

These stipulations are:

Impact teens in your community in a positive way

Create community partnerships

Introduce teens to the police on a different level.

Uplift the spirits of the children in the hospital.
