On Tuesday, August 4th, 2015 neighborhoods throughout Duluth are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 32nd Annual National Night Out (NNO) Crime and Drug Prevention Event. National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored locally by the Duluth Police Department.

Last year in 2014, Duluth Police Department registered more than 52 block parties with many more “unofficial” gatherings at the National Night Out Event and there were over 37.8 million neighbors across 16,124 communities celebrated National Night Out.

National Night Out is a cohesive effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

In Duluth, this event is always well received throughout the community and among officers themselves. It’s an opportunity for the community to gather and connect with the officers who work in their neighborhoods to strengthen relationships and ban together to fight crime.  

Neighborhoods throughout Duluth will be hosting a variety of events such as block parties, cookouts, and visits from police officers, youth activities and anti-crime rallies. This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity. National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation.

If you would like to host a National Night Out Event in Duluth, REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN.   To register email Pam Kleinschmidt at pkleinschmidt@duluthmn.gov
