Resident asks Cary to support National Night Out; village proclaims Law Enforcement Civilian Personnel Appreciation Week
Summary
A resident requested village outreach and financial help for the 15th annual National Night Out; the board also issued a proclamation recognizing law‑enforcement civilian personnel for the first week of June 2026.
Peter Spizzirri, a Cary resident and founding member of the Cary Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, asked trustees to support National Night Out on Aug. 6 and to help recruit financial support from local contacts; he said last year’s event drew between 1,000 and 1,500 attendees and highlighted recent Crime Stoppers donations that benefit local graduates.
The board noted the request and the mayor issued a proclamation designating the first full week of June 2026 as Law Enforcement Civilian Personnel Appreciation Week, thanking dispatch and records staff for behind‑the‑scenes work. Chief Hayes also spoke to recognize civilian personnel and acknowledged the importance of records and administrative staff to police operations.
No formal funding action was taken at the meeting; the resident said Crime Stoppers and other partners provide support and encouraged trustees to reach out to potential sponsors. Staff noted the request in meeting minutes for follow‑up.
