The 25th Annual National Night Out, a unique crime and drug prevention event, has been scheduled for this Tuesday, August 5th. The objective for this USA-wide program is to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships. NLAN has chosen to participate in National Night Out and we want to send a message to criminals letting them know that we are organized and fighting back! Our plan to do so is simple and we hope effective, too! We are counting on your participation to make this event successful!
First, we ask that you turn on your porch lights no later than 7:00 PM. We know, we know, the sun is still up! By having your porch lights on will demonstrate that you are committed to fighting crime and drug prevention in partnership with our NLR Police Department's Officers. Send the message of solidarity and support - light up your home early the evening of the 5th!
Second, we want to let you know that we will have a NLR Police "Officer On Parade" event planned for this evening of August 5th. Beginning at 7:00 PM we will have police officers in patrol cars conducting a parade drive through the NLAN neighborhood, starting with Oak Tree Circle and ending with Lakewood Drive. Upon hearing their sirens announcing their arrival on your street we ask you to step outside to greet them with a big smile and huge wave, thanking them for their commitment to protect and to serve us every day of the year! If you like; this act can be considered as a front porch vigil or you can move down to the curb to extend an 'up front and personal' thank you!
Please join in as we celebrate this national event with some 'down-home' personal warmth. It's a 'blue light' special you really can't afford to miss! Let's light up the neighborhood to greet our most valued partners in preventing crime and drugs on our very own streets. Hope to see you on those same streets next Tuesday evening. Thank you!
