Best Answer
Hawkins is referring to the night of the very first Halloween film, in which Michael Myers first went on the rampage. According to TV Tropes:
[Hawkins] was the first deputy on the scene after Loomis shot Michael off the balcony in the original [film], and stopped the doctor finishing Michael off. Now that Michael's come home and the bodycount is rising, he's come to view this as a mistake and is willing to finish Michael off by any means necessary.
