Dan Acosta, who shares his story about being wounded in combat and then finding a road to recovery with the support of friends, family and the Coalition’s assistance.

New Radio Campaign: National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) - Go For Real

Counterfeit goods cost U.S. businesses an estimated $600 billion per year, according to Steve Shapiro, Unit Chief for the FBI’s Intellectual Property Rights Unit. This is a staggering statistic given that, according to research conducted by NCPC, 81 percent of teens believe that counterfeits can start fires and harm health, but less than 20 percent care enough to change their buying behaviors.

NCPC, home of McGruff the Crime Dog®, is collaborating with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to take a stand against counterfeits. NCPC’s goal is to raise public awareness about the dangers of counterfeit products among teens, tweens, and parents, tying in law enforcement and industry. Along with its partner FILMSTERS, an award-winning television and production company, NCPC has created video and radio ads for its national media campaign entitled Go For Real.
