National Night Out
Events
Tomorrow night, August 2, 2005,
residents throughout Sacramento will join neighborhoods throughout the
nation in celebrating the 22nd Annual National Night Out.
Nearly 50 neighborhoods throughout the City are planning events such as
block parties, BBQ’s, ice cream socials, flashlight parades, and other
neighborhood social activities – all in an effort to get to know their
neighbors better so that, together, they can fight to keep crime out of
their neighborhoods. During this evening’s events, the Sacramento
Police Department will be sending officers and other representatives to
visit these neighborhood celebrations to show our support for their efforts.
National Night Out is an event designed
to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for,
and participation in, local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood
spirit and police community partnerships; and to send a message to criminals
letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
