get a WAVE card at http://www.waveamerica.com/



yes that's right! you can be a card-carrying WAVE agent. 

Also W.A.V.E stands for Working Against Violence Everywhere, but it's also
the name of a 1981 tv-movie (http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0083316) in which an
experiment at a California high school designed to show how Nazis recuited
members goes rogue. The neo-Nazi movement was called "The Wave."

"Pinkerton will manage the WAVE Program in North Carolina under the
auspices of the Center for the Prevention of School Violence.  The program
will be implemented in more than 750 public schools and reach out to more
than 2 million students, parents, guardians, teachers and administrators.  
Because the Program is to be privately funded through corporate
sponsorships and donations, public schools can participate in WAVE free of
charge.

 According to James M. Powell, III, PSG Senior Vice President, the program
can be successful on many levels.  ``Our vision in developing and
administering WAVE is to focus corporate America's commitment to the
'workforce of tomorrow' by asking businesses, through their financial
support, to help us establish an effective communications channel for
students, parents and the educational community,'' he says.  ``By
promoting a message centered on ethics and personal responsibility, we not
only help develop an ethical, responsible and considerate future
workforce, but also nurture a safer school environment.''

 The WAVE toll-free tip line (1-888-960-9600), called WAVE Line, will be
staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by professional communications
specialists at PSG's Charlotte office.  Students, teachers and parents can
call the line to report safety concerns in their schools and communities,
and callers can choose to remain anonymous.  Information is then passed on
to designated individuals in the schools, or to law enforcement officials
in cases that constitute an immediate danger."
