27th Annual National Night Out is Tuesday

This is from Assemblymember Torres office:

Our nation is built on the strength of our citizens. Neighborhood Watch programs allow citizens to help in the fight against crime.

While one night is certainly not the answer to crime, drugs and violence, National Night Out does represent the spirit, energy and determination that is helping to make our neighborhoods safer places throughout the year. National Night Out is a night to meet our neighbors, celebrate crime prevention successes and to expand and strengthen programs.

National Night Out is designed to:

• Promote Neighborhood Spirit;
• Give neighbors the opportunity to know each other, allow them to build the relationships needed to work together on public safety activities and other community projects and to develop strong working partnerships with their local law enforcement officers;
  
• Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime.
