LYNNWOOD, WA (June 12, 2017) – The
Annual “National Night Out Against Crime” celebration for 2017 is scheduled all
across America for Tuesday evening, August 1st. During National Night Out (NNO) residents turn on their porch lights,
lock their doors and go out to meet their neighbors in the name of crime
prevention.
In 2016, more than 38 million people in
16+ thousand communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities
and military bases worldwide participated in NNO. This year’s “34th Annual NNO” will be the
largest ever!
NNO is designed to:
- Strengthen
neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships
- Send a
message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and
fighting back.
- Heighten
crime and drug prevention awareness.
- Generate
support for and participation in local anti-crime programs.
Statistics prove over and over that criminal
activity is reduced when neighbors watch out for each other.
The Lynnwood Police Department, in
partnership with the Family Center of South Snohomish County, the Lynnwood Fire
Department, and other city departments, encourages residents to organize a
neighborhood event to bring neighbors together.
By involving several households in each
neighborhood everyone shares in the fun of creating a real community building
“block party.” It could be as simple as a dessert potluck in a garage, hot dogs
grilling poolside at an apartment complex, or a barbeque gathering in a
driveway.
The LPD and its partners try to visit
as many neighborhoods as possible to connect with residents during this fun
event.
