National Night Out, a year-long community building campaign, is designed to: (1)
Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in,
local anticrime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community
partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods
are organized and fighting back.
Along with the traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, most cities and towns
celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events
such as block parties, cookouts, parades, festivals, visits from local officials and law
enforcement, safety fairs, and youth events.
Don’t delay! Organizing your event today. For more information, visit www.nationalnightout.org.
