The National Association of Police & Lay Charities (NAPLC) is an American 501(c)(3) charity started in 1997 in Washington, D.C.〔 The mission statement of NAPLC began simply enough, but in time was expanded to allow partnerships with various secular, lay charities. The NAPLC mission broadened into helping reduce the recidivism rate in U.S. prisons, fighting the illiteracy of American school children, and even into helping Deaf people learn a SignWriting modality,〔(The SignWriting Literacy Project for Deaf Students )〕 that aids in developing their literacy. After the emergence of NAPLC, the organization began its long association with the Teddy Bear Cop's Program, wherein teddy bears are given by policemen, fire fighters, and emergency rescue workers to children in traumatized situations.〔(Testimonials from Police, Fire and Emergency Officials )〕 According to Charity Navigator, only 21.4% of the income went to the target program in 2006 (72.6% went to fund raising and 5.9% to administrative expenses). The Better Business Bureau reports that NAPLC did not respond to their requests for information.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Better Business Bureau Report for National Association of Police and Lay Charities )〕 == Teddy Bear Cops Program == The mission of the Teddy Bear Cops program is to get teddy bears into the hands of police, fire and emergency officials across the country, so that they can give teddy bears to a child or children at the scene of incidents. A similar program is ran in the UK by the metropolitan police in partnership with (the Great British Teddy bear company ) who have together created a range of police teddy bears that are given to children at the scene of incidents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NAPLC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
