Since 1997, The Community Relations Office has
taken part in National Crime Night Out which is an annual event,
held in August, designed to:
1) Heighten crime and drug prevention
awareness
2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime
efforts
3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community
partnerships, and
4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are
organized and fighting back
 In the past, the event has included a
barbeque and entertainment providing a relaxed atmosphere for
community interaction. It’s a great opportunity to meet members of
the Police Department, Fire Department, and other city service
organizations to discuss issues and concerns. Police equipment and
vehicles are on display and information packs concerning a variety
of subjects are made available to the community. It’s an event
enjoyed by all attendees and a good opportunity for neighbors to
meet and discuss the issues affecting their community. |
