National Night Out builds community connections
Treasure hunt leads up to
festivities
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
It’s time to break out your
best sleuthing skills as the annual
National Night Out treasure hunt is
underway in Hermiston.
Tim Miears, training officer/evi-
dence custodian with Hermiston
Police Department, hid a golden
medallion as part of Hermiston’s
festivities. It’s about 3 inches in
diameter and is attached to a blue
ribbon,
Annual National Night Out
activities have been going on
across the country for 36 years and
this is Hermiston’s 21st year of
participating. The purpose, Miears
said, is to build neighborhood
camaraderie, which helps in reduc-
ing crime.
“It’s hanging out and getting to
know each other,” Miears said.
National Night Out encourages
relationships between neighbors
and law enforcement. The ultimate
goal is to further develop a sense
of community. People in commu-
nities across the nation are encour-

aged to host block parties, festi-
vals, parades and cookouts.
Providing an opportunity for
first responders to visit with citi-
zens in a relaxed setting enhances
relationships.
Miears was amazed with the
local participation during last
year’s National Night Out. After
hosting a block party for the win-
ner of the 2018 treasure hunt,
Miears said a group from the
police department went to several
other neighborhood parties.
“It was great seeing all the peo-
ple coming out to gatherings and
barbecues,” he said. “Kids were
out mingling amongst other kids.
They were out playing rather than
behind a computer screen or elec-
tronic device.”
Statistics indicate that people
take more ownership in their neigh-
borhoods when they are familiar
with who lives around them. Crime
rates are often reduced when
neighbors are aware of each other
and their comings and goings.
The treasure hunt, Miears said,
is a fun way to get people excited
leading up to National Night Out,
which is Tuesday, Aug. 6. In his
third year of heading up the trea-
sure hunt, Miears said he wanted to
hide the medallion in a place that
would make hunting fun for peo-
ple of all ages.
Police and city officials will
serve ice cream during an evening
block party Tuesday, Aug. 6 in
the winner’s neighborhood. Other
community members are encour-
aged to organize neighborhood
parties, cookouts or gatherings.
Available police officers and city
personnel will try to stop by par-
ties and visit with those in atten-
dance. Those planning a neighbor-
