Record Number of Registered Parties for Tyler’s Texans Against Crime

TYLER — Tyler residents have succeeded in surpassing last year’s total of registered block parties for the annual Texans Against Crime (T.A.C.) going on today. According to a news release, the Tyler Police Department has registered 113 residential block and apartment complex parties for the activity. Last year the City of Tyler had approximately 95 block parties throughout the City to promote the program. The Texans Against Crime (T.A.C.) program is an annual event designed to unite neighbors and communities to encourage neighborhood communication, community involvement and crime prevention to create safer neighborhoods. Police say the T.A.C. program encourages neighborhoods and businesses to host block parties as an opportunity to get to know your neighbors and fight crime.
