What is National Night Out?
Each August, millions of people celebrate National Night Out (NNO) in neighborhoods across the country. Celebrating community and law enforcement partnerships, NNO brings together citizens, law enforcement agencies, community groups, businesses, youth organizations and officials from communities in all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.
Over 35 million people in over 11,125 communities celebrated NNO last year.
NNO:
-
Heightens crime prevention awareness
-
Generates support for and participation in local anti-crime programs
-
Strengthens neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
-
Sends a message to criminals, letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back
What Can You Do?
Vernon Hills has participated in NNO for the past fourteen years, and we've had some very memorable moments. This year was no exception, as we had a lot lined up for you to enjoy. The key to any great event is participation .... and that we did not lack. Click on the below link to see how this year's NNO went.
Our next event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 3, 2010. We are already looking for volleyball teams and donations!
