Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD hi Debb... there is strength in numbers and when neighbors come together to "watch" their neighborhoods, those who are thinking about commiting crimes do move on to other areas.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® hi Sheri... I wouldn't be surprised if there's an event planned near you this year as well. Many communities do this year after year. We have some in the Charlotte area that have been doing it since the first year NNO was done.

Joan Cox hi Joan I'd have been amazed to hear that the Denver area didn't sponsor an NNO throughout the city. A great way for neighbors to get to know each other, as well.

Barbara Todaro hi Barbara... I knew if anyone paid attention to this post it would be you! I'm so happy to see so many communities in Charlotte participate year after year, as well as so many towns around Charlotte, most of whom are actually quite safe and not crime-ridden. But the message transcends just the crime statistics.

Barbara Todaro hi Barbara... I can hardly bear to listen to the news each day and to hear about yet another police officer having been shot or killed. The people who do this need to be rounded up and given a taste of their own medicine.
