What is National Night Out?...It's America's Night Out Against Crime!
The National Night Out(NNO), a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored
by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). We cordially invite you
and your community to be a part of our NIGHT OUT 2009 team.
The National Night Out campaign involves citizens, law enforcement
agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local
officials from over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories,
Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 37 million people
participate in National Night Out annually.
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 a community will derive
from NNO will most certainly extend well beyond the one night.
