McGruff House
A McGruff House is a temporary haven for children who find themselves in emergency or frightening situations such as being bullied, followed, or hurt while walking in a neighborhood.

A McGruff House provides a sense of security and a source of emergency aid.  It is not an escort service or a guarantee of safety but rather a place for appropriate short-term help by an adult for a child.  An effective McGruff House Program demonstrates that the community accepts a shared responsibility to watch out and help out on behalf of all its children. 

If you would like more information about the McGruff House program, please contact the Savage Police Department Crime Prevention Unit.
