National Night Out

Next date: Tuesday, August 05, 2025 | 05:00 PM to 09:00 PM

National Night Out was introduced by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) in 1984 and began as a concept for generating greater crime prevention involvement among residents. What started with residents simply leaving their porch lights on soon progressed to something bigger: neighbors organizing cookouts, parades, contests, neighborhood walks, festivals, rallies, and community service events, such as a park clean-up. Today, more than 35 million people and over 15,000 communities participate in National Night Out!

We are excited to meet with residents during this year's National Night Out event. Those who register their events with the Police Department will receive a visit from police staff. Register your block party online.
