Everyday the news is filled with one crime after another…with each report there are victims of those crimes. National Night Out is a campaign that declares a quiet and steady war against crime in communities all over the nation in the United States. Everyone knows someone who has been a victim of some kind of crime. It is always un-acceptable to have innocent people affected physically, emotionally or financially in a negative way, simply because another human being chooses to commit a crime.
The National Night Out campaign strives to bring a focus on the awareness of drug & crime prevention efforts, to strengthen the collective power of neighborhood watches and the role of police and community programs to build up anti-crime programs to protect local communities. It is high time that the criminal element recognize the fact that law abiding citizens are sick and tired of being held hostage to those who have little regard for the safety and well-being of others.
Tonight is the night that many communities will hold events to support efforts to be aware of neighborhood crimes, to report suspicious activities and to recognize the fact that individuals have the power to change negative behaviors that affect whole communities by being mor pro-active in their own local areas by helping to fight back through a partnership with law enforcement to take back the streets to make them safer for friends, neighbors and families.
