National Night Out is an annual neighborhood crime fighting event that establishes a vehicle for families to come together and focus on fighting crime in their neighborhood through unity and education. The event empowers citizens and strengthens neighborhoods by creating an opportunity for families to mix and mingle and talk with civic groups, law enforcement, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials.
National Night Out events are citizen-led and include crime prevention activities ranging from turning on porch lights and porch sitting; to block parties and cookouts that include food and games for children.
Held each year on the first Tuesday of August, the National Night Out event was established in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch as a program to build neighborhood unity in fighting crime. The event includes participation in all 50 U. S. states, U.S. territories, Canada and U.S. military bases around the world. This is the 27th year of the National Night Out event being held in the United States of America.
