National Night Out 2012
[facebooksimplelike] Click LIKE if you like that our neighborhoods take a stand against crime.
What is National Night Out? It’s America’s Night Out Against Crime and is held the first Tuesday in August! Citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials participate in National Night Out events.
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 your community will derive from NNO will most certainly extend well beyond the one night.
The following four National Night Out events will be held on August 7, 2012. Events listed in alphabetical order. If you are holding a National Night Out event in San Jose Council District 5 and your event is not listed, please notify itsjuanestrada@gmail.com.
