My point was that it is hard to help protect your neighborhood if you don't know your neighbors. And I was just sharing my one experience in trying to meet new people. I agree with you that people should become more involved in their neighborhood watch programs every day.mamaonthemichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596893752276650698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291299797304883060.post-3845695413880062112011-08-03T10:53:13.521-07:002011-08-03T10:53:13.521-07:00I agree with you that adults have lost the ability...I agree with you that adults have lost the ability to become fast friends, I think you have missed the point of National Night Out.<br /><br />This is a national program that extends far and wide. I participated while stationed with the Navy in Japan! It is a chance for neighbors, not just to meet each other, but to bind together to send a message that crime is NOT welcome in their neighborhood. It is also the opportunity for local law enforcement to make important connections with the community. We have to remember that the police are our allies, not our enemies.<br /><br />Community oriented policing is a HUGE issue and should not be taken lightly. Though NNO is only once a year, I urge all adults (not just parents) to become involved in their neighborhood watch programs, and local crime prevention teams.<br /><br />Ok. Off my soapbox =)Kristen Stormesnoreply@blogger.com
