Dear NNO participant and valued Citizen of Arlington TX,
Thank you for participating Tuesday 10/4/11…
2011 will be the third year the State of Texas celebrates National Night Out in the month of October. Over-all the transition from triple digit weather in August to nice cool fall weather in October has been brilliant. As some of you may recall there was some very brief showers in 2009 but in 2010 we had a high of 78 F which made for a near perfect night to be outside.
Tight knit communities are a proven crime deterrent. Strong communities enjoy a good quality of life from neighbor to neighbor.
Well a lot of hard work went into this year’s National Night Out. Each of you who participated and organized did an amazing job. I saw it with my own eyes and received a lot of positive feedback.
After speaking to several of you last night I thought I’d share some thoughts to keep with you when planning for next year.
I think it is very important to keep the purpose of National Night out in perspective.
The Arlington Police Department has a community based policing philosophy. Community and Police partnerships are of very high priority from within. National Night Out is a great opportunity for us to get outside in a social setting with the very citizens whom our Officers are sworn to protect and Firefighters are sworn to rescue.
Best regards,
