National Nigtht Out August 2nd, 2016, Police and Community Releations

On Tuesday August 2^nd, 2016, law enforcement agencies across the country will be hosting National Night Out events with their community stake holders, "residents, businesses, faith community members" that participate in public safety watch programs. 

The 33^rd annual National Night Out is designed to heighten crime & drug prevention awareness; generate support & participation in local anti-crime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit & police-community partnerships; and lastly send a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The National Night Out Campaign traditionally involves citizens, law enforcement, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations & local officials.  This year there are several new co-sponsors of interest to Crime Prevention personnel  and the promotion of "after market safety products" for the home.

 

There are two popular products that consumers are asking crime prevention personnel about, they are "video door security systems".  Consumers are encouraged to educate yourself on how these products work, and how do the mobile apps work to secure your personal information and your home.

 

Check out the National Association of Town Watch for more details on the event and if your local agency is participating. * Not all agencies register so please contact your local law enforcement agency.
