La Porte, Texas 77572-1 115
Dear Mayor Malone:
Thank you for your crime prevention efforts in your community.
The Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the National Night.Out Program is developing plans to launch
its tenth (10th) anniversary National Night Out Campaign on Tuesday, August 2, 1994. This
campaign will be launched in every town, village, hamlet, city and household in the Texas Gulf
Coast Region, and, therefore, we would like to enlist your support.
Your support for the Texas Gulf Coast National Night Out Program would signal thousands
of citizen, Law Enforcement personnel, governing bodies, and scholars to jointly worktogether
and improve public safety, as well as quality of life issues in our communities.
As chairman of the Proclamation/Resolution subcommittee for the Texas Gulf Coast National
Night Out Program which is based in Houston, Texas, I have the charge of obtaining key
levels of endorsements, cooperation, and support from each agency or governing body in our
Region: this includes county commissioners, courts, city councils, county judges, mayors,
executive boards of directors, political leaders, etc. This is a huge task, but certainly one that
should be under taken, given our commitment to crime prevention in Texas Gulf Coast
communities. Successful networking with key community leaders in our region have shown
us that the wealth of contribution and accomplishments which are yet to come are but
perhaps at our fingertips if only we strive to share more information and develop closer ties
with one another in our communities and region.
To this end, would you please show your support and endorsement for the Texas Gulf Coast
National Night Out Campaign by providing our subcommittee with either a proclamation,
resolution, or letter of support which endorses the National Night Out Programs in Texas'
many Gulf Coast communities. Moreover, that you declare (if appropriate) Tuesday, August
2, 1994, as "National Night .Out Day" in your jurisdiction or community.
The Honorable Norman Mae 2 , May 9, 1994
Mayor City of La Porte
Your endorsements and support is deeply appreciated, and will most certainly facilitate
matters tremendously if you will inform us of your decisions by June 4, 1994.
Should further questions present themselves, please contact me in the Houston Police
Department's Central Patrol Division, PIP Office, at (713) 225-3325 or 225-3607. After
hours, I can be reached at (713) 343-91 18.
