National Night Out is an annual community-building event that encourages neighbors to connect with one another and with local law enforcement officers. The goal is to build stronger communities and promote safety. Essentially, it is a positive neighborhood block party or gathering designed to strengthen relationships and community-policing efforts against crime.

Our upcoming National Night Out will be held throughout the community on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 6 p.m. until dark. 

The benefits of hosting a National Night Out party are:

• Increased crime and drug prevention awareness
• Strengthened sense of community
• Enhanced community-policing partnerships
• Educational opportunities
