CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 01 - 154
RESOLUTION PROCLAMING CRIME PREVENTION MONTH 2001
WHEREAS, the vitality of our city depends on how safe we keep our
homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities because crime and fear
diminish the quality of life for all;
WHEREAS, crime and fear of crime destroy our trust in others and in
institutions, threatening the community's health and prosperity;
WHEREAS, people of all ages must be made aware of what they can do
to prevent themselves, their families, neighbors, and co-workers from being
harmed by drugs, violence, and other crime;
WHEREAS, the personal injury, financial loss, and community
deterioration resulting from crime are intolerable and require action by
the whole community;
WHEREAS, crime prevention initiatives must include but go beyond
self protection and security to promote collaborative efforts to make
neighborhoods safer for all ages and to develop positive educational and
recreational opportunities for young people;
WHEREAS, adults must invest time, resources, and police support in
effective prevention and intervention strategies for youth, and teens must
be engaged in driving crime from their communities;
WHEREAS, effective crime prevention programs excel because of
partnerships among law enforcement, other government agencies, civic
groups, schools, faith communities, businesses, and individuals as they
help to nurture communal responsibility and instill pride;
NOW, THEREFORE, We, the Lino Lakes City Councilmembers, do hereby
proclaim October 2001 as Crime Prevention Month in Lino Lakes and urge all
citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, and
businesses to recognize the power of preveytion and work together for the
