August 5th, 2008 -National Night Out

What is National Night Out?

It's America's Night Out Against Crime!

The "25th Annual National Night Out" (NNO), a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2008.

Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 35 million people participated in National Night Out 2007.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:

Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;

Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;

Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships;

and Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Along with the traditional display of outdoor lights and front porch vigils, cities, towns and neighborhoods

'celebrate' NNO with a variety of events and activities such as:

block parties,

cookouts,

visits from local police and sheriff departments

parades,

exhibits,

flashlight walks,

contests, and

youth programs.

NNO has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and

police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation. Plus, the benefits your community will derive

from NNO will most certainly extend well beyond the one night.
