| National Night Out
 National Night Out (NNO) is an annual event, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, that takes place on the first Tuesday in August. Each year, the Metropolitan Police Department actively participates in National Night Out by rallying community members throughout the District of Columbia to join with neighbors and police officers in their PSAs to be a part of this annual event.
The National Night Out campaign involves citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from 9,500 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.
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.
If you want to get involved in future NNO activites in your community, please contact your local police district, or call Kevin Palmer at (202) 727-4731.
National Night Out 2008 a Huge Success
The regional effort to put on a celebration worthy of 25 years came off without a hitch this year … agencies from across the Washington region showed their cooperative spirit and created a memorable event on The National Mall as well as exciting neighborhood activities across the area on Tuesday, August 5. The weather cooperated, residents came out to thank their police, and communities spent the evening greeting one another and enjoying the atmosphere that National Night Out generates each August. In November 2008, the National Capital Region took 3rd Place in this 25th Anniversary Celebration of National Night Out.
Congratulations on a job well done!
