From YouTube: National Night Out 2019: Hyde Park
Description
Residents from Hyde Park joined with police and city officials for fun, food and music during the National Night Out celebration. The 36th Annual National Night Out Boston is a citywide celebration that focuses on strengthening partnerships between the community and law enforcement.
A
The
freedom
of
safety
has
to
be
earned
and
the
best
way
to
do
it
is
the
participation
of
neighborhood
groups,
with
their
police
working
as
one
to
address
crimes
and
quality
life
issues
to
make
our
neighborhood
safe,
a
better
place
to
live
and
for
businesses
to
thrive.
We
accomplish
the
above
with
block,
watches,
neighborhood,
watches
drug
programs.
A
In
other
anti-crime
efforts,
these
neighbors
give
their
personal
time
for
our
neighborhoods,
and
let
me
tell
you
the
older
one
gets
the
more
valuable
is
ones
time,
so
we
should
salute
those
who
volunteer.
In
our
behalf
tonight
we
celebrate
in
honor
an
individual
in
a
neighborhood
watch
program,
as
we
have
done
for
34
years,
neighbors
that
make
our
neighborhoods
the
best
in
the
city
that
make
us
the
best
in
the
state
that
make
us
the
best
in
America,
because
Boston
is
the
best
place
in
America
to
live
I.

B
Thank
You

That's
gonna
be
brought
up
in
a
few
minutes,
but
I
want
to
thank
all
the
people
that
keep
this
neighborhood
safe.
C
I
have
a
few
I
should
have
started
the
night
out.
I
was
asked
a
question
on
the
way
in
by
the
press,
about
my
feelings,
about
El,
Paso,
El
Paso
and
about
Dayton
Ohio,
and
yesterday,
the
day
before
I
said,
I
made
a
phone
call
to
the
mayor
of
Dayton
Ohio.
His
name
is
named
Whaley
she's,
a
friend
of
mine,
and
she
didn't
know
what
she
didn't
know.
What's
going
on
in
her
City,
she
said
what
would
you
say,
and
these
mass
shootings
that
are
happening
around
the
country
are
sad
and
Angela's
gonna.
C
Go
there
a
little
bit
when
you
talked
about
here
at
the
microphone,
but
we
need.
We
have
the
best
gun
laws
here
in
Massachusetts
the
toughest
gun
laws
in
Massachusetts
murder
rate
in
Massachusetts,
lower
than
states
around
the
country.
Now
we
don't
be
in
people
who
want
to
have
guns
to
have
guns
Aiken
their
guns
if
they
want
to
own
their
guns.
What
we
do
is
have
background
checks
and
we
have
mental
and
mental
illness
awareness
and
those
are
things
that
we're
asking
for.
C
C
They
need
to
take
action
too
many
lives
too
many
families
have
lost
their
life,
and
that
will
impact
us
here
in
Massachusetts,
particularly
in
Boston,
because
the
homicides
that
happened
in
our
city,
the
guns
that
are
on
our
streets,
they're,
not
legal.
They
come
from
New
Hampshire.
They
come
from
the
south,
some
of
them
come
from
stolen
from
Massachusetts.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
continue
to
get
guns
off
the
street.
We
need
to
get
these
guns
off
the
street
now
young
people.
So
what
I'm
asking
you
to
help
me
there?
C
The
stats
in
in
ei
team,
as
of
yesterday
shootings
same
as
2000,
we
had
six
this
year
same
as
this
time
last
year.
Homicides
one
down
from
three
this
time
last
year.
Other
crime
is
up
a
bit.
We
get
to
work
on
that
number.
I
know
the
captain's
been
working
out
on
that
across
the
city.
Just
so
everyone
gets
these
numbers.
C
Homicides
are
down,
22%
shootings
are
up
12%,
that's
another
number,
we're
gonna
work
on
violent
crime
is
down,
9%
property
crime
is
down
9%
major
crime
is
down
9%
arrested
down,
6%
guns
removed
off
the
street
Perot
Boston
Police
Department,
six
462,
so
they've
done
an
amazing
job.
Getting
the
guns
off
the
street.
In
the
last
five
years
over
about
4,000
guns
have
been
taken
off
the
streets
of
Boston.
C
So
we're
doing
our
work,
we're
doing
our
work
working
with
the
community
working
with
all
of
you
working
with
the
police
department,
so
we're
here
tonight
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
people
that
are
being
recognized.
Thank
you
to
the
community.
Thank
you.
The
community
groups
thank-you
to
our
police
officers.
Thank
you,
our
Public
Safety
officials.
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
because
we
have
to
do
this
together.
We
can't
do
it
alone.
It's
not
one
person.
It's
all
of
us
working
together,
so
have
a
great
number.
We
have
a
great
night.
C
One
last
thing:
I
want
to
say
we're
doing
some
intervention
work
and
prevention
work.
We
have
some
some
programs
for
our
kids
job
training
and
our
recovery
budget.
We
increase
that
by
thirty
five
percent
this
year
to
deal
with
the
opioid
crisis
that
we're
having
in
the
city
we're
working
on
peace,
walk,
social
justice
task
force,
and
we
have
seven
trauma
teams
around
the
city
of
Boston.
We
know
homicide
happens
or
a
shooting
happens.
C
We
go
into
a
neighborhood
with
the
trauma
teams
that
did
happened
in
the
past
and
what
making
sure
it
happens
now
and
the
reason
for
that
is
a
lot
of
times.
We
had
untreated
trauma
a
family
would
lose
a
loved
one
and
another
family
whose
loved
one
did.
The
shooting
you'd
lose
them
both,
and
you
have
these
revenge
shootings
that
were
going
on
and
we're
working
now
to
make
sure
we
try
and
help
the
whole
individual
and
that's
what
we're
doing
with
the
trauma
team.
So
all
of
you,
thank
you
very
much.
D
This
is
Mike
I
claim
him
he's,
looking
like
a
Kennedy
hi
everyone.
Thank
you.
A
year
ago
today,
the
good
Mir
Mir
was
like
he
brought
me
aboard
as
your
police
commissioner,
to
serve
you
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
spent
an
incredible
year,
and
you
just
heard
the
mayor
mention
some
crime
stats.
This
is
us.
This
is
our
crime
stats.
This
is
what
happens
when
you
work
together.
D
This
is
why,
in
the
last
four
years,
we've
had
over
40
different
countries
come
to
Boston
to
see
how
we're
doing
the
things
that
we
do
in
our
communities,
even
when
we're
met
with
challenges.
You
just
remember
that
it's
the
one
or
two
percent,
giving
everyone
a
bad
name,
but
we
go
right
past
it
and
show
how
successful
we
are.
That's
why
it's
so
important
to
have
national
night
out
is
to
show
people
that
we
don't
take
each
other
for
granted
and
show
people
that
this
isn't
just
a
one
day
or
one
night.
D
We
do
this
year-round
and
you
want
to
talk
about
a
team
look
at
all
of
our
politicians.
It
sounds
like
a
law
firm
to
me.
Scott
Shaw
rush,
McCarty
asabi
George
clarity,
but
they
have
your
backs
right
and
what
we
appreciate
most
is
that
you
have
our
backs
and
what
I
always
say
we'll
never
give
up.
You
know
why
the
seniors
paved
the
way.
Let's
give
a
hand
to
this
seniors
fleas.
It
paves
the
way
for
us.
D
And
the
seniors
taught
us
that
we
have
to
make
the
way
for
the
future.
Our
children
that
are
here
with
us
today
we're
going
to
make
sure
the
road
that
they
travel
will
be
much
smoother
because
of
our
experiences
and
what
we
do
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
successful
and
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
my
command
staff,
led
by
superintendent
and
chief
Greg,
lung
command
staff,
just
look
around
they're,
the
ones
with
all
the
bling
all
the
stars
and
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
for
your
support.
Now,
I'm
gonna
bring
up
someone,
don't
believe
the
papers
we
work
hand
in
hand
every
day.
We
always
keep
it
real
and
honest
to
each
other
and
Captain
may
I
bring
up
the
next
speaker.
Thank
you.
Gotta
respect
my
classmate
District
Attorney
Rachel
Rollins,
please
step
up.
Thank
you.
B
E
Thank
You,
commissioner
I,
want
to
make
sure
that
we
not
only
thank
the
mayor
and
the
Commissioner,
the
senator
and
city
councilor
from
this
district,
but
last
year
when
I
was
here,
I
was
a
candidate,
so
I
know
there
are
several
candidates
running
for
office.
It's
hard
work,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
the
people
that
are
running
for
office.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
E
Thank
you
for
putting
your
name
in
the
ring
and
trying
to
get
the
things
that
you
think
make
our
community
better
heard
from
people
in
the
community
and
also
sometimes
be
careful
what
you
wish
for,
because
you
could
win
and
then
you
will
be.
You
will
be
making
change
every
single
day,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
honor
you
guys
as
well.
It's
important
for
me
also
to
give
a
shout
out
when
I
first
walked
in
here.
B
B
Bring
up
the
whole
bring
up
the
whole
crew.
No,
no!
No!
No
come
on
come
on.
This
group
was
established
in
the
fall
of
2012
and
they
meet
every
first
Thursday
of
the
month.
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
too!
Is
he
all
right?
Yes,
they
Tuesday
the
group's
one
of
our
smaller
groups,
a
number,
but
they
determined
to
ensure
that
their
neighbor
to
remain
safe
and
that
their
partnership
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
remains
strong.
The
group
is
led
by
Melanie
day
right
here.
B
She
has
been
able
to
reduce
crime
and
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
our
area
by
voicing
their
concerns
to
us
in
the
neighborhood
liaisons
that
attend
their
meetings
together
without
dat
community
service
office,
they've
addressed,
among
other
things,
issues
with
drugs,
motor
vehicle
issues
regarding
traffic
violations
and
overall
crime
in
the
area,
their
compassion
for
their
community
and
willingness
to
work
to
keep
it
safe
by
being
vigilant
and
proactive
demonstrates
the
commitment
and
devotion
to
the
community
and
merits
the
reception
of
the
Neighborhood
Watch
Group
for
this
year.
Thank
you.
B
B
So
selecting
the
individual
for
the
community
service
award.
It's
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
Is
we
have
many
talented
and
dedicated
individuals
within
our
community
groups?
However,
the
community
service
office
has
the
privilege
and
the
honor
of
working
with
this
year's
recipient
pastor,
Karen
Ricketts
from
the
Family
Life
Fellowship
for
about
seven
years
and
she's,
quite
the
singer
too.
If
anybody
was
here
earlier,
she
has
opened
her
doors
to
the
ps3
Neighborhood
Watch
Group,
and
to
the
officers
from
district
II
18
by
allowing
allowing
us
to
hold
our
meetings
in
her
church.
B
Not
only
she
provided
this
location
but
she's.
Also,
an
active
participant
in
our
meetings
after
Karen's
energy
is
extremely
contagious
and
her
love
for
a
church
in
the
community
is
quite
visible.
She
shares
with
all
of
us
not
only
her
enthusiasm
for
life,
but
a
beautiful
gift
of
voice
that
echoes
throughout
the
community.
