National
Night Out
Which
neighborhoods are among the safest neighborhoods in Duarte?
On Tuesday, August 7th, we will have the answer. Dozens of Duarte’s
neighborhoods will be celebrating the 24th Annual National Night Out
with front yard gatherings and parties designed to improve the safety of the
community.
National
Night Out is a worldwide celebration meant to draw neighbors together over front
yard barbeques, pool parties, and potlucks. It helps heighten crime and drug
prevention awareness.
Take
this chance to build closer ties with your neighbors, meet new neighbors and
deputies serving your area and help increase safety.
Duarte’s safest neighborhoods are those where the neighbors know each
other and look out for each other.
If you would like to live
in such a neighborhood, make plans now to revive your Neighborhood Watch Program
and get acquainted with new and long time neighbors.
Duarte
Deputies will be available to visit each gathering armed with giveaways to help
you and your neighbors enjoy your party. Giveaways will include emergency
preparedness information, raffle prizes, stickers and coloring books for the
kids. Please be sure to contact the Public Safety Office for party ideas, event
flyers and to schedule a deputy to visit your party.
Ask us about low-cost helmets available for sale at your party.
Last
year's National Night Out campaign involved over twenty Neighborhood Watch
Blocks throughout the city of Duarte. Ten thousand communities gathered from all
50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In
all, over 34 million people participated in NNO 2006. Don’t miss the
opportunity to get together with your neighbors this summer and be part of this
worldwide celebration!
