We want to see if we can make that happen.

We\u2019re at a 36-year low. A lot of that has to do with residents working with our police,\u201d Winston told Kiser. \u201cThis is a place to kind of recognize all of that. National Night Out is incredibly important. As a city, we do very well in participation.
