	H.R. No. 2712



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Through the committed work of the Richardson Police
	Department and area residents, the City of Richardson was awarded
	first place in the 2010 National Night Out competition by the
	National Association of Town Watch; this marks the fourth time in
	the past decade that the community has been so honored for its
	exceptional support of this worthwhile event; and
	WHEREAS, National Night Out encourages citizens to gather
	with their neighbors and to interact with members of the local
	police department to heighten awareness about crime and drug
	prevention and to build bonds between neighbors; the observance
	helps reinforce the concept of community policing, a strategy that
	helps control crime by involving citizens in the process; and
	WHEREAS, For the 2010 event, which took place on October 5,
	Richardson had 167 registered neighborhood block parties; the city
	also sponsored crime prevention programs throughout the year, and
	as a result of these efforts, it earned first place among cities
	with populations of between 50,000 and 99,000; and
	WHEREAS, Crime prevention plays an essential role in
	maintaining the safety of our cities, and the dedicated involvement
	of the Richardson Police Department and numerous concerned
	residents in National Night Out affirms their commitment to making
	their community stronger and safer; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Richardson Police Department
	and the citizens of Richardson on taking first place in the 2010
	National Night Out competition and extend to them best wishes for
	continued success with this important program; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Richardson Police Department as an expression of
	high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
