What is National Night Out?
National Night Out, an
annual, nationwide Neighborhood Watch campaign, is held in early
October (Texas only this year). This program promotes involvement in
local crime and drug prevention activities, strengthens
police-community partnerships, and encourages neighborhood camaraderie
as part of our national efforts to let criminals know that America is
united and dedicated to building a safer, more caring country. Along
with the traditional “lights on” and front porch vigils, cities and
towns across America celebrate NNO with a variety of events and
activities such as: block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight walks,
visits from local police, and safety demonstrations.

National
Night Out is held each year to encourage people throughout the nation
to come outside and join their neighbors in giving neighborhood crime a
“going away” party.
National Night Out is scheduled for Tuesday, October 2, 2012.
Texas is the only state for now that is celebrating this program during the month of October.
The Irving Police Department will take reservations to have a police officer or a representative from the department make a 15 minute visit to neighborhood block parties.
Please register ASAP for your NNO!
