"<strong>Law enforcement officers are never 'off duty.' They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect public safety at any time and place that the peace is threatened</strong> - Barbara Boxer <br /><br />In the nineteenth-century United States, police forces were…oriented more toward service than toward crime control.…Policemen aided children hurt in accidents involving wagons, trains, and public transportation….In large and impersonal late-nineteenth-century cities, families could easily lose track of young children….Every year, urban police departments recovered and returned home hundreds of children, generally under age ten."

<p>UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything it does. Together with its partners, it works in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.</p>
<p>In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programmes focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation.</p>
<p>UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. It advocates for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future.</p>
<p>UNICEF promotes girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children. UNICEF acts so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished: no child should suffer or die from a preventable illness. UNICEF works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others. It helps children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity.</p>
<p>UNICEF involves everyone in creating protective environments for children. It is present to relieve suffering during emergencies, and wherever children are threatened, because no child should be exposed to violence, abuse or exploitation.</p>
<p>UNICEF upholds the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It works to assure equality for those who are discriminated against, girls and women in particular. UNICEF works for the Millennium Development Goals and for the progress promised in the United Nations Charter. It strives for peace and security, works to hold everyone accountable to the promises made for children.</p>
<p>This organization is part of the Global Movement for Children – a broad coalition dedicated to improving the life of every child. Through this movement, and events such as the United Nations Special Session on Children, it encourage young people to speak out and participate in the decisions that affect their lives. </p>

<p>The U.S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work, and other efforts in support of the world's children, through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States.</p>
<p>The organization works with governments, civic leaders, celebrities, corporations, campus groups, churches, teachers and anyone willing to help advocate for the survival and well-being of every child.</p>
<p>UNICEF does whatever it takes to save and protect the world's most vulnerable children. Forty years ago, UNICEF figured out that promoting simple, low-cost interventions like hand washing and breastfeeding could save millions of lives. Undaunted by war or geography, UNICEF delivers.</p>

Maricopa County CASA Website
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/performing-public-organization/performing-public-organization">Return to High Performing Public Organizations</a></h4>
Each year, an increasing number of children become part of the court and children welfare systems through no fault of their own. To ease this process, CASA volunteers meet with the affected children. A CASA volunteer is a community member who acts as the voice of children in court. Founded in 1985 and established by legislative act in 1991, the CASA program of Maricopa County recruits, trains and supports hundreds of volunteers who have helped thousands of children to date. However, facing budget constraints and a shrinking volunteer base, Maricopa County needed to develop a low-cost program to recruit more volunteers. As a result of this dilemma, Maricopa County repurposed the CASA volunteer website. The focus moved from being a child?centric website to a volunteer?centric website. The current information found on the public website details not the plight of abused and neglected children but provides concrete and direct steps for getting involved and volunteering. The first major change was to provide a secure and easily navigated application that a prospective volunteer could fill out immediately. This eliminated the need for an application to be printed and mailed to the CASA office. The electronic application eliminated the need for a staff member to input data from a paper application into the program database. The probability for mistakes was dramatically reduced. Each application took approximately 30 minutes for a staff member to input. The program on average received 50 applications in a month. The website then generated an immediate email response so that the applicant could be assured that the process was moving forward. This eliminated staff time as well. In FY2011, volunteer hour/mileage documentation on the website has increased over 20% compared to FY2010. That increase generated into over $10,000 in total value hours donated “in kind” to the program.
