What is National Night Out?

Neighborhoods throughout Lakewood are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for National Night Out, an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

National Night Out is Designed to:

• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
• Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs.
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.
• Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

When is National Night Out?

On Tuesday, Aug. 5 from 4-9 p.m., residents in neighborhoods throughout Lakewood are encouraged spend the evening outside with their neighbors and communities. Many neighborhoods will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight walks, contests, youth activities and other neighborhood watch events.
