National Night Out 2008
Neighborhood Watch Coordinators, Block Captains, and citizens--- if you have
not heard the news, this year’s National Night Out (NNO) event in Richardson
will be held on Tuesday, October 7th, 2008. Yes, you read
correctly….October!
For the past 24 years, the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), the
originators of the annual NNO, has long upheld the “first Tuesday in August” as
the standing date for NNO, the national celebration of the Neighborhood Watch
program. Over the years there has been much speculation as to why this early
August date was chosen. Meanwhile, we Texans were suffering through the dog
days of August in order to participate in this nationwide event. After many
years of appeals from Texas residents, the NATW has agreed to a compromise with
Texans.
NATW granted Texas a “test year” in which all city, town, and county NNO
participants within the State of Texas may hold their NNO events either on
August 5th (the traditional date) or on October 7th. The
beauty of this compromise is that Texans can still participate in all the
post-event activities, such as city and state rankings. However, the catch is
NATW wants to see a substantial increase in Texas’ NNO participation before they
will consider making this compromise permanent.
The Richardson Police Department is honoring the wishes of its Neighborhood
Watch members by shifting the City’s NNO event to Tuesday, October 7th.
True, it is a school night, but the weather should be cooler, which should bring
out more participants. Besides, most block parties are finished by 9 PM, so
students can still get plenty of sleep. Further, October is National Crime
Prevention Month, so it corresponds with the crime prevention theme of NNO.
This is an exciting year for Richardson, its citizens, and the NNO program in
Texas. We want to put forth an extraordinary effort this October to show NATW
that Texans are not only serious about Neighborhood Watch and community
partnerships, but that a more comfortable time of year for us certainly
encourages participation from more people throughout Richardson and across the
state.
