National Night Out

What is National Night Out?

It’s America’s Night Out against Crime! "Turn your lights on to turn off crime."

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.

History of National Night Out
· Started in 1984 with 400 communities in 23 states
· Started with “lights on” and front porch vigils
· To promote police-community partnerships, crime prevention, neighborhood camaraderie.
· The event is the first Tuesday of every August.
