The Night Out Against Crime was a huge success!

The 26th Annual National Night Out, a unique crime and drug prevention event, was held on Tuesday, August 4th, 2009. We invited you and your community to be a part of out Night Out Team.

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.
