On behalf of the Wauwatosa Police Department and the Neighborhood Watch Steering Committee I want to thank all of the sponsors, participating groups and volunteers who helped to make TNO 2009 an overwhelming success! If you attended you saw the masses of people enjoying friendship, safety displays, music and food. Once again our signature flashlight walk was a success and the entire event was capped off with an amazing fireworks display.

Based on the support and attendance to this event it is clear that Wauwatosa is a concerned, caring and safe community in which to live and work. If you want to become more involved we have two key programs that allow you to do so, Block Watch and McGruff House. Both help promote an old fashioned neighborhood feel and truly support safety and crime prevention. If you are interested in either of the programs please call the Police Department at 414-471-8430 and ask for the Community Support Division.

Thanks again to all involved and all who attended TNO 2009.
