National Night Out (NNO) is a yearly nationwide initiative that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer. The best way to build a safer community is to get to know your neighbors; police encourage interaction as a crime prevention tool. Neighbors that get to know each other are more likely to watch out for each other and report suspicious activities. NNO is held on the first Tuesday in October from 6 to 9 p.m.
