Area National Night Out Events

I've noticed that quite a few neighborhoods seem to be getting into more area awareness and I know that there are more and more parts of town forming Neighborhood Watch groups and such and that's a good thing indeed.The purpose of National Night Out is to build strength and security in area neighborhoods and to promote improved relations between law enforcement  and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

The National Night Out festivities start tomorrow and there are planned activities all around the area. Just find your general neighborhood from the list and start getting involved in your neighborhood.
