No Marks in Our Parks! What is South Madison National Night Out? National Night Out is an anti-crime initiative for communities. It was started 24 years ago by the National Association of Town Watch. It intends to have several purposes or benefits: 1) gets citizens involved in policing their own community and creates relationships and networks among community citizens (residents, businesses) "better enabling them to increase community cohesion"; 2) provides a venue for community residents to interact directly with police in a positive setting, which a) gives police exposure to residents from a partnership perspective of cooperation and support, and gives residents exposure to police officers in a positive setting. These interactions hopefully increase trust, respect, and
communication between community residents and police. 3) "Police and
elected officials get varied feedback from residents enabling them to
respond better to community concerns." There is always a candlelight march at National Night Out. Also, it is common to ask people to turn on their porch lights and come out to the park or the street to participate. It is sometimes seen as a kind of "take back the night" for the whole community. It is intended to help overcome the intimidation that crime and drug dealing create in a community, and give people encouragement that there are others out there who want a healthy life for themselves, their families and their children. South Madison's National Night Out started in 1998 or '99 (I'm sorry, I can't remember which year! Age is getting to my memory.) It was part of a reaction to experiences of South Madison residents of disruptive activities - disturbances of the peace - that were happening, mainly due to street drug dealing. National Night Out was part of our attempts to do something to change the community atmosphere and work with each other and the police to stop the disruptions. Bram's Addition Neighborhood Association started the South Madison Anti-Drug Coalition due to the problems cited above, and the SMADC has been doing a National Night Out in South Madison every year; some years it has been bigger, and some years it has been smaller. It is only a small part, really, of trying to improve conditions that lead to threatening, dangerous, and destabilizing situations in a community. To reduce crime in a community, it is very important to a community to provide resources for youth to develop their talents and use their energy in positive ways. Such resources are currently severely endangered through the political situation we find ourselves in. Nevertheless, we believe that community cohesion at the grassroots level is crucial to overcoming the fear and confusion that resource withdrawal are creating. In our small way, the community groups and organizations that are participating in National Night Out are working to be part of a positive kind of community cohesion. This year, we are getting sponsorship from Target, and some food donations from Copps, as well as sponsorship from the City of Madison, the Madison Police Department, the Catholic Multicultural Center (a South Madison institution located at 862 Beld St,) and St. Mary's Hospital. We have received sponsorship from all of the above in the past, except Target and Copps. We're grateful for the sponsorship, and hope to use it well. I hope it may be that relationships with companies could lead to more income for South Madison organizations that are doing work that is needed. August 11This week on Heart and Soul we are joined by Jackie Hunt of the Mental Heaslth Association of Dane County will speak about addictions and recovery.
