National Night Out also is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness and encourage support for and participation in local anti-crime programs. Residents in neighborhoods throughout Austin and across the nation are asked to turn on their porch lights, lock their doors, and spend the evening outside with their neighbors, police officers, and firefighters from 7PM to 9PM on August 7th. Linda Elmes of Garnaas Drive will be coordinator for our Neighborhood. She will contact block captains with more information. Stacy Wuthrich will place an ad in the Statesman and out up the large neighborhood signs.
Householders are responsible for putting up local street signs and for their own sales.
This is a good time to clean out the garage. Lock your doors and windows every time you leave your house, even for just a few minutes. The most popular times for residential burglaries are weekday daylight hours. Keep garage doors closed and locked. Leave a light on.
