WHEREAS, National Night Out was introduced by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) in 1984 and began as a concept
for generating greater crime prevention involvement among residents; and

organizing cookouts, parades, contests, neighborhood walks, festivals, rallies, and community service events; and
WHEREAS, National Night Out was designed to promote civic pride and unity among neighbors who share an anti-drug and anti-
crime stance; and
WHEREAS, today, more than 35 million people and over 15,000 communities participate in National Night Out; and
WHEREAS, this year, National Night Out will be celebrated on Tuesday, August 2 in the City of Dublin; and
WHEREAS, the “39
th Annual National Night Out” gives the citizens of the City of Dublin a great chance to be part of a nationwide
effort to promote police and community crime prevention efforts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby proclaim August 3, 2021 as “National Night
Out” in the City of Dublin and encourages all citizens to participate in this community event.
