Contact
your Community Outreach Deputy for information regarding the National
Night Out.
Residents in neighborhoods across Thurston County are invited to join
forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the "National Night
Out" (NNO) crime/drug prevention event. National Night Out, which is
sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and
co-sponsored locally by the Sheriff's Office, will involve over 10,000
communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and
military bases around the world. In all, over 32 million people are
expected to participate in "American's Night Out Against Crime."
National Night Out is 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
Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
On event day residents in neighborhoods throughout Thurston County and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights, and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Many neighborhoods throughout the county will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, visits from police, and youth activities.
We would like you and your neighborhood to join forces with neighborhoods nationwide and Give Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party! To register your function with the Community Outreach Unit, please call (360) 786-5657 or email your Community Outreach Deputy to sign up.
