Comments
According to the author:
Crime touches every corner of California. Local Law Enforcement and Neighborhood watch communities have kept our streets safe for generations. With the initial sacrifice of these individuals, California’s crime rate is in decline. Therefore we should recognize the importance of crime-prevention efforts.
A populace that is educated on the topic of crime-prevention will allow for a safe and peaceful society. Citizens will know what to expect from criminal activity and how to combat it.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. The event has been held annually since 1984 and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch. The events are typically organized by block watches, non-for-profit organizations, companies, and police departments. These events can be as simple as backyard cookouts to full-blown festivals like the one on the west side of Columbus, Ohio.
