Travis County Commissioners Court
July 6, 2004
Item 3
Number 3 is to approve proclamation from Travis County sheriff's office recognizing Tuesday, August 3rd, 2004, as national night out in Travis County. Should I read this? It reads, whereas, the national association of town watch,natw is sponsoring a unique nationwide crime and prevention program on August 3rd, 2004, called national night out, whereas national night out is designed to, one, heighten crime awareness. Two, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs. Three, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships, and four, send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Whereas the 21st annual national night out provides a unique opportunity for Travis County to join forces with thousands of other communities around the world in promoting cooperative police and community crime and drug prevention efforts. Whereas the Travis County sheriff's office plays a vital role in establishing joint crime and drug prevention efforts in Travis County. And is supporting national night out 2004 locally. Whereas hopefully that all citizens of Travis County will become aware of the importance of crime prevention programs and the impact their individual and collective participation can have on reducing crime and drug abuse in Travis County and whereas police-community partnerships and neighborhood safety and awareness cooperation are important things of the national night out program. Now be it resolved that we the members of the Travis County Commissioners court encourage all citizens of Travis County to join the Travis County sheriff's office and other law enforcement agencies, local business sponsors and the national association of town watch in supporting the 21st annual national night out on August 3rd, 2004, and I move approval.
