It’s America’s Night Out Against Crime!
 
 

National Night Out (NNO) is a unique event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch is held the first Tuesday in August. 

Last  year’s National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.  In all, over 34 million participate in NNO worldwide.  Last year, over 7,000 Modesto residents participated in NNO by attending 243 parties hosted by neighborhoods across the city. 

National Night Out is designed to: 

  • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
  • Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, such as, Neighborhood Watch
  • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
  • 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 fire
  • Parades, exhibits

NNO has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood safety and police-community partnerships.  Plus the benefits our community will derive from NNO will most certainly extend beyond the one night.
