The Molly Bish Center of Anna Maria College serves as a vital source of information, education, training, collaboration, and networking for media, law enforcement personnel, public service professionals, first responders, and the community at large.  The Center provides leadership in mobilizing individuals, families, communities and the nation to speak and act against all threats to human life, especially those directed against children and the elderly.
