National Night Out 2010 Tuesday, August 3
America’s Night Out Against Crime
REGISTER your participation in National Night Out
On the evening of August 3, Columbia will have anywhere from 30 to 50 NNO block parties going on throughout the city. As a member of the National Association of Town Watch, we are part of a national observance of this annual event. On-duty Columbia Police Officers and Columbia Firefighters participate fully in the event, and will come to visit your ‘party’ if they know where you are located. So, please register with us so they can have a listing of where the parties are being held.
IMPORTANT: The police & firefighters will be coming to your party from different directions & times. Many times they need to call you at the party to verify information. Please make sure the cell phone number you register will be available at the party. Click-on this link:

SPECIAL NOTICE TO BLOCK CAPTAINS:
CNW is having to 'update' its 30 year old records through E-mail contacts only. We are finding that very few E-mail 'addresses' that we have on file are accurate! People are changing internet service providers all the time and thereby acquiring a new address. So, we need you to "Register" with us now! Just click-on the 'link' in the upper right header. Please be sure, under "User Comments", to indicate your "role" as Captain in your block group. Also, be sure to indicate your house number & street address in your registration. Why is this extremely important? Because under our new system, these individual members records (some 3,700 of them) are now available 24 hours/7 days a week for the use of CPD "beat officers" to contact our members by E-mail (or phone occasionally) to inform them of active crimes within their neighborhoods or their immediate block. The most prevalent contact by the officers will be E-mails within a subdivision or on particular streets, and many times they want to contact only Captains.

New 'Crime Prevention' information is now available! Click-on "CPD Contact Information" link in left margin.

On the left side of this page are links to a number of options of specific information about our volunteer program. In the upper 'header' are a number of links to 'general information'. The link "crime stats" provides a current 'crime incident' report (updated daily by CPD) which can be 'customized' to your home address and expanded 'out' from there. To register on our site, you must be either a member of CNW, or personnel of the Columbia Police Dept (CPD). Registered members find additional 'options' available, such as submitting a crime report directly to CPD from this website. To 'Register', see link in 'upper header' on right side.
CNW is a local, private volunteer organization that is incorporated as a Non-Profit under MO law, and designated by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) public charity. We are supported by voluntary, tax-deductible contributions from private citizens and organizations.
Affiliated with the largest organized volunteer crime prevention project in the nation, we work closely with the CPD for technical advise. A representative of the Columbia Police Chief is an 'Ex-Officio' member of our Board.
In these times of increased concern about home and apartment burglaries and other residential crime, the volunteer Neighborhood Watch program is more important than ever!
