Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will join with Orlando residents to participate in the 30th Annual National Night Out on Tuesday, August 6th, 2013, along with Orlando City Commissioners, the Orlando Police Department and the Orlando Fire Department.
Mayor Dyer will lead a caravan along with Orlando Police Chief Paul Rooney, Orlando Fire Chief John Miller and the City of Orlando’s Neighborhood Watch staff to present awards to the three neighborhood watch parties selected as the first, second and third place winners in the National Night Out theme contest. This year’s National Night Out theme is “Lights on mean lights out for crime!” and the winners include:
First place: Washington Shores Neighborhood
Second place: Clear Lake Cove Neighborhood
Third place: Carver Shores Neighborhood
National Night Out is an annual event that helps build stronger, safer communities by giving crime a going away party. The event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support and participation in local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are working together to keep crime out.
The City of Orlando ranked third in the country for our National Night Out efforts last year and has placed in the top winning categories for the last 18 years in a row.
