                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing August 1, National Night Out, the national coming together 
  of Americans all over the Nation to unite and promote public safety.

Whereas, on the first Tuesday of August, the Nation will observe National Night 
        Out, a day to cultivate a better relationship between residents of a 
        community and their local law enforcement, and to promote public safety;
Whereas the participation in National Night Out by over 38,000,000 neighbors in 
        over 16,000 communities across the United States for over 39 years is 
        inspiring;
Whereas the relationship between local law enforcement and the residents which 
        they are sworn to protect is important in creating a true sense of 
        community;
Whereas general awareness of public safety has improved, because of the 
        continued efforts of communities to meet their law enforcement officers 
        and participate in National Night Out activities; and
Whereas National Night Out not only includes Americans on the mainland, but 
        includes those in United States territories and military bases to ensure 
        all are included in the effort of community building and public safety 
        awareness: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) encourages law enforcement departments to use National 
        Night Out to improve relationships with the communities they 
        serve;
            (2) encourages public safety departments to inform 
        communities--
                    (A) how to most effectively contact their 911 
                responders and emergency service providers; and
                    (B) how they carry out their duties; and
            (3) recognizes the impact that has been made for over 39 
        years in communities all over the United States of America by 
        National Night Out in creating a more united country by 
        fostering relationships between residents, neighbors, and local 
        law enforcement, and promoting public safety awareness.
