The 36th Annual National Night Out (NNO) for is set for Tuesday, August 6, 2019. NNO is a community-building campaign started by the National Association of Town Watch that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. NNO enhances relationships between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
NNO is designed to heighten prevention of crime, generate support for and participation in, local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit, and establish police-community partnerships. We encourage you to get involved and send a message to criminals that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Neighborhoods can participate by having block parties, cookouts, flashlight walks, and youth programs. The Sheriff’s Office will stop by some neighborhoods to interact with residents and share crime prevention tips. The events are fun, effective, and inexpensive ways to interact with your neighbors and your sheriff’s office to strengthen relationships and learn about crime prevention.
