Show Emery County Progress Castle Dale, Utah Tuesday July 29, 2003 3A Aug.5,8 National Night Out .By SHERIFF WAYNE GAY As crime in the United States I has become more senseless, piore random, and more violent, pur citizens have become more fearful. They are afraid to go to the mall or even drive down the Street. Never has this been more evident than during the recent Washington, DC area sniper attacks which created such fear that many motorists resorted to leaking cover while fuelingtheir (faj's. In these attacks, we witnessed a young child being shot while entering his school and innocent Americans brutally killed while engaged in everyday activities such as mowing ilie lawn, waiting for the bus, and loriding packages into the car after an evening of shopping. Our citizens are tired of crime, tired of being frightened, aifd tired of worrying about their safety and the safety of their children. They believe that the system is stacked against them and in favor of criminals. They think their government is failing in its most basic duty: to protect them. As a government official I believe all levels of government must work together to respond to these fears and identify effective ways to get criminals off the streets, make our Neighborhoods safe and restore trust. A safer Safer Communities Neighborhood Just how can we accomplish thbse goals? The first step is to reestablish confidence in our communities. The very foundation of a safe and secure nation, hi fact, rests in the establishment of safe and secure neighbor-hbodThe National Sheriffs Association has long been to this cause. In 1972, the organization, with financial assistance from Law' Enforcement d Assistance Administration, the National Neighborhood Watch Program to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in a massive effort to reduce residential crime. A work lan emerged for use by sheriffs, police, and citizens to put together local neighborhood-bake- d programs. The resulting Neighborhood Watch has developed thousands of such local residential crime prevention s. corn-milt- ed cre-hte- programs in which individual citizens work to accomplish two goals: to make their homes and families less inviting targets for crime, and to cooperate with law enforcement through block and neighborhood groups to control crime. Oftentimes, citizens provide law enforcement with valuable ' problems within their communities and make our local neigh- - Sheriffs Booth from p.m there will be 2 The Emery County Sheriffs Office responded to a number of calls throughout the weekend. A Salina man reported that a 7 year old boy was walking southbound at the end of State Street in Ferron. He stopped to talk to the boy and all the boy wrould say was he wras not going back home. Boy would not give his name or parents names. Deputy 6-- Spjnney reported that the mother had arrived at the scene and took the child with her.

This is the first step in ridding our communities of those who threaten peace and prosecuting these offenders to the fullest extent. Neighborhood Watch provides an avenue for citizens to become involved on this level and play an important role in protecting their communities. President Support Beyond community support, programs like Neighborhood Watch rely on support from our nations lawmakers. Last year, the program, in fact, wmn the support of the highest government office. In his State of the Union Address, President Bush challenged all Americans to become involved in homeland security efforts, and he specifically charged the National Sheriffs Association with the mission of promoting and increasing the number of neighborhood watches around the country. Our Presidential mandate is to double the current number of neighborhood watches. Many of our nations sheriffs are at the forefront of this effort and have already begun the battle to make this a reality. They are devising innovative, creative w'ays to serve the public and initiate community involvement. They are committed to finding ways to curb crime, and they know' that Neighborhood Watch is a pivotal step in the right direction Indeed the Neighborhood Watch program is an excellent way for all Americans, from all communities, to become involved and help law enforcement. Not only has Neighborhood Watch given citizens a voice in crime prevention, but also an active role in improving our neighborhood. Through this collaborative effort, sheriffs around the country can identify the concerns of constituents and aid them in finding solutions to Deputy Martin Wilson takes a photograph to be kept on at the sheriffs office. Photos by Patsy Stoddard file borhoods a safe place to live and work. As Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a letter to the National Sheriffs Association. In the great tradition of American volunteerism, the Neighborhood Watch brings together citizens and law enforcement, to weave a seamless web of prevention of crime to keep our communities safe.
