~~~Mission and Goals of Armed Citizen Corps~~~

MISSION: The mission of Armed Citizen Corps is to harness the power of every individual through education, training, and volunteer service to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters of all kinds.

GOALS: The Armed Citizen Corps mission will be accomplished through a national network of state, local, and tribal Armed Citizen Corps Councils, which will tailor activities to the community and build on community strengths to develop and implement a local strategy to have every American participate through:

- Personal responsibility: Developing a household preparedness plan and preparing a disaster supplies kit, observing home health and safety practices, implementing disaster mitigation measures and participating in crime prevention and reporting.

- Training: Taking classes in emergency preparedness, response capabilities, first aid, CPR, fire suppression and search and rescue procedures.

- Volunteer service: Engaging in volunteer activities that support first responders, disaster relief groups and community safety organizations.

Local Armed Citizen Corps Councils also will promote and strengthen the Armed Citizen Corps programs at the community level, such as Volunteers in Police Service programs, CERT teams, Medical Reserve Corps units, and Neighborhood Watch groups; provide opportunities for special skills and interests; develop targeted outreach for special needs groups; organize special projects and community events; encourage cooperation and collaboration among community leaders; and capture smart practices and report accomplishments.
