         SUMMARY  :  Proclaims August 6, 2013, as National Night Out in  
        California and urges the people of California to observe and  
        participate in National Night Out.  Specifically,  this resolution   
        makes the following legislative findings:

        1)National Night Out is an effective, inexpensive, and enjoyable  
          program to promote and recognize neighborhood spirit and  
          police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation, and  
          provides community benefits that extend throughout the entire  
          year.

        2)It is essential that Californians be aware of the importance of  
          crime prevention programs and the impact that their participation  
          can have on reducing crime; and National Night Out is designed to  
          heighten crime prevention awareness; generate support for, and  
          participation in, local anticrime efforts; strengthen neighborhood  
          spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to  
          criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and  
          fighting back.

        3)Over 37 million people participated in National Night Out in 2012,  
          including citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups,  
          businesses, neighborhood organizations, and  local officials from  
          over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, United States  
          territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.

         FISCAL EFFECT  :   None
