For National Night Out (NNO), neighbors plan barbeques, picnics, cookouts, safety fairs, and other events to celebrate their efforts to maintain safe and healthy neighborhoods. They also get organized to promote police and community partnerships, crime, drug and violence prevention, and safety and neighborhood unity.  

The purpose of NNO

• Heighten crime and drug awareness
• Through block-by-block organizing, support anti-crime efforts such as community-oriented policing and safe streets
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and unity
• Support community and police relations and cooperation
• Send a clear message that our neighborhoods are organized and are not prey for illegal activity
