National Night Out

Crime Awareness    

National Night Out is a national program that brings awareness to crime in our neighborhoods. The program designates a date every year when the community unites as one and shows support against crimes. The program provides an opportunity for neighborhoods throughout the city to organize special events such as cook-outs, ice cream socials, block parties, and safety fairs.  

These community events provide neighbors an opportunity to meet each other and show their support against crime. The entire police  department  participates by visiting neighborhood events with patrol,  bicycle, and  K-9 officers.
