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,
