State Senator Tim Keller on National Night Out In the International District

“It has been proven time and again that the biggest deterrent to crime is ‘eyes on the street,’ community policing is low cost, effective and it brings community together for a common goal. National night out celebrates this concept and sends a message that we care about the health and well being of our neighborhood.”
