It's America's Night Out Against Crime!

The "25th Annual National Night Out" (NNO), a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2008 and cordially invites you and your community to be a part of our NIGHT OUT 2007 team.

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 people participated in National Night Out 2008.

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.

Many 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.
