It's America's Night Out Against Crime!
We'd like to thank all our neighbors who came out on Tuesday August 7th to participate in our Essex Park National Night Out. A great big thank you to the Valparaiso Police Department and McGruff the Crime Dog for their visit.
Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 34 million people participated in NNO 2006. We are pleased to be a part of this exceptional program.
NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:
Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
